Discovery in a Nutshell
Daria Lopatiukova
Lead Business Analyst
The discovery phase is a critical foundation for any development project. During this stage, the team creates key artifacts that establish a shared vision for the future product. It’s also the first opportunity for the client and development team to collaborate, align on a strategic roadmap, and gain a clear understanding — not just of the product, but of the business as a whole.

How the Discovery Phase Works
OTAKOYI is an exceptional partner that consistently delivers innovative and high-quality solutions. Their technical expertise, particularly in AI development, has been instrumental in helping my team achieve breakthrough results. They have an impressive ability to understand complex requirements and transform them into powerful, functional platforms that drive real business outcomes. OTAKOYI's team is not only responsive and detail-oriented, but they consistently go above and beyond to ensure each milestone is met with precision and care.
OTAKOYI's loyalty to ETA+ has been impressive, both in terms of their work and communication. Over the past two years, they migrated our AngularJS components to Angular and updated .NET to version 8, adding new features and design improvements. These changes have boosted performance and increased satisfaction among our clients and partners. OTAKOYI is a reliable partner, delivering over 90% of projects on time, within budget, and with good quality. We can count on them to meet our needs, even with changing requirements.
Their team showcases impressive energy, flexibility, and problem-solving skills. They genuinely care about the project and pay attention to detail, timelines, and costs. They are great to work with, and even though their country has been at war, they have remained professional, kind, and honest.
We've been very impressed by OTAKOYI. Their developers have been top notch so far. They are very knowledgeable and very technically proficient. In addition, unlike other development firms we've worked with, these developers think outside the box. They make recommendations that we haven't thought about. On top of everything, having interacted with management we feel we can trust OTAKOYI as a company. We are looking forward to working with them for a long time to come as a trusted development firm for all our development needs.
It’s worth mentioning that they were recommended to us by a business partner. At first, we involved OTAKOYI for a small project and they delivered a product that exceeded our expectations ahead of schedule. After this, we decided to contract them to build several more web applications for us. I find the speed in which they deliver quality software very impressive. Their positive attitude and engineering excellence were great - their suggestions significantly improved the products we asked them to build.

No hidden costs, and more affordable than any other vendor we've seen at their level of quality. This for what we were quoted by other vendors in the market. They have a collaborative design process and they listen well and can react and interpret client needs quickly. They also fix things quickly whenever they go wrong. Highly recommend them.
Frequently Asked Questions
The discovery phase is not essential for projects that do not involve business logic. If your goal is to create a corporate website or a simple landing page, then the discovery phase might be excessive, and focusing solely on design could be sufficient. However, if your product aims to transform, automate a business process, or provide a service to your customers, the discovery phase will help identify requirements at an early stage. This not only saves time during development but also reduces overall implementation costs. As we all know, the earlier the requirements are identified and aligned, the cheaper it is to implement them.
