approach that allows further exploration and

the “unknowns” are huge and you need to
make steady, consistent and measurable
progress
For these situations, we recommend our
incremental discovery and fast feedback digital
development approach, Controlled Burn™
Using the tools of Lean User Experience (UX)
Design and Lean Engineering, you get results
early, for a modest cost, that you can test and
further evolve with your customers.
1. Incremental discovery of
requirements
2. Cost containment to a fixed weekly /

highly-skilled offshore resources

spent work hard for you
