What would a discovery phase look like for Learning Platforms projects?

Learning Platforms & Digital Education · 2026-09-12

We start with User & Technical Discovery to understand who uses learning products, their goals, and the current technical environment that supports learning. This helps us see the real problem and the constraints we must work within. We gather evidence through architecture analysis, user research, journey mapping, and blueprinting to identify pain points, constraints and opportunities across people, processes and technology. That discovery informs how the platform should be structured and what capabilities matter most to learners and administrators. From that discovery we outline a problem statement and a high-level approach, including how content, identity, payments, video and progress tracking might fit together. We test early ideas with prototypes or technical proofs to check feasibility and desirability before committing to a solution.
