Where We Are Today

We're building great things together. Church management, community platforms, member engagement โ€” the foundation is strong.

But you've identified new opportunities that need clarity before they become projects.

"We know there's more we could optimize, but we're not sure how to define it yet."

The Challenge with Undefined Opportunities

๐ŸŽฏ

Fuzzy requirements lead to scope creep and rework during development

๐Ÿ’ธ

Building without validation risks investing in solutions nobody uses

๐Ÿ”„

Stakeholder misalignment creates friction and delays mid-project

โฐ

Analysis paralysis keeps good ideas stuck in "someday" mode

Our Approach: Discovery-to-Build

A structured process combining Design Thinking with Rapid Prototyping to turn fuzzy ideas into validated, build-ready concepts.

1
Empathize
Understand real needs through stakeholder interviews
2
Define
Cluster problems into clear opportunity areas
3
Ideate
Collaborative brainstorm with your team
4
Prototype
Build fast, testable concepts
5
Validate
Test with real users, iterate or proceed

Phase 1: Discovery Sprint

1-2 day intensive workshop with your key stakeholders to uncover, define, and prioritize opportunities.

Day 1
AM

Stakeholder Interviews

Deep-dive conversations with ministry leaders, staff, and volunteers to uncover pain points and aspirations

Day 1
PM

Problem Mapping

Cluster insights into themes and define clear problem statements

Day 2
Full

Ideation & Prioritization

Collaborative brainstorm, then rank by impact vs. effort

Opportunity Map Problem Statements Prioritization Matrix Top 3-5 Initiatives Stakeholder Alignment

Who Should Attend

Ministry leaders, operations staff, tech team, key volunteers, and decision-makers who will champion the initiatives.

Phase 2: Rapid Prototype Sprints

1-2 week sprints per concept. We build clickable prototypes and test them with real users before any production development.

๐ŸŽจ

Week 1: Design & Build

Transform the prioritized concept into an interactive prototype โ€” clickable screens, realistic flows, testable experience.

๐Ÿงช

Week 2: Test & Learn

Put the prototype in front of real users. Gather feedback. Identify what works, what doesn't, and what's missing.

Sprint Deliverables

Interactive Prototype User Testing Report Feedback Synthesis Go/No-Go Recommendation Build Spec (if validated)

Why Prototype First?

A 2-week prototype costs a fraction of a 3-month build. If the idea doesn't resonate, you learn fast and pivot โ€” not after months of development.

Why This Approach Works

๐ŸŽฏ

De-Risk Investment

Validate ideas with real users before committing development resources. Don't build things nobody will use.

โšก

Speed to Clarity

Go from fuzzy opportunity to validated concept in weeks, not months. Move faster with confidence.

๐Ÿค

Stakeholder Alignment

Get everyone on the same page early. Workshops surface disagreements before they become blockers.

๐Ÿ’ก

Better Solutions

User-centered design means solutions that actually solve real problems, not assumed ones.
