Thoroughly design your software in 8 weeks with a product blueprint
From user research to a high fidelity prototype and development estimates.
We understand that there are a lot of inherent risks and complexities when taking on a new digital technology initiative – plagued with unknowns. With our 8 week product blueprint, we aim to provide heightened clarity in product investments.

What is a product blueprint?
A product blueprint is a full schematic of a software application created in order to reduce risk, align your team and users, and setup the development team for success before coding begins. It often includes a user-tested clickable prototype, written requirements, solution architecture documentation and high level development estimates.
Just like all the parts of a car are designed, engineered and spec’d out before they’re sent to the factory, your custom software application should be well designed, tested and engineered before it hits the developer’s assembly line.
Our approach
Why choose Digital Scientists to blueprint your product?
We reduce the risk of users not using the product
Often trivialized, we start by speaking to real users and understanding their critical and unique challenges. This is key to building the product right the first time.
We create executive and full-team alignment
We deliver you a concept prototype that will bring alignment to your MVP vision and give early idea validation to your entire team.
We set development up for success
Whether we end up building it, another vendor, or yourselves internally, we deliver a first round of written requirements and dev ready designs that can be properly estimated against – increasing the accuracy of your business case.

Customers who started with a Product Blueprint
Our product blueprint process and deliverables
All of our design offerings begin with an Alignment Workshop to understand the product’s objectives, company goals, and align our two teams. After our teams are aligned we go to work researching, designing and documenting your product interface and architecture.
We generally work in 2-week sprints and check in weekly to maintain alignment and provide status updates.
What’s Included:
Actionable user insights
Our experienced team of UX designers, researchers and product managers will deliver actionable user insights after each round of user research and usability testing phases.
High fidelity prototype
Your stakeholders and development team will be able to align around a high fidelity, clickable prototype that serves as the source of truth for all development efforts.
Solution architecture
Our solution architects evaluate feature requirements, your tech stack and preferences, and any legal constraints to provide architecture documentation guiding the product’s technical direction.
Development ready designs
Our UX/UI designers create their final deliverables with development in mind, ensuring designs are comprehensive and formatted for easy use by development teams.
Product requirements
Our product managers write product requirements that serve as the contract between stakeholders, development and design – keeping all teams aligned on feature functionality.
