It is a simple web-form (think Google Forms) that has some exploratory and information-gathering questions that relates to your problem area that you need to answer.

Docs or documents refers to any documentation that may help you become prepared before the discovery session. It may include project charter, project brief, paper sketches, etc.

It is an interactive virtual meeting between the buyer and the service provider to discuss, explore, elicit and “discover” the scope of the project work. The output of this is the scope document.

PMBOK defines the “scope statement” as the description of the project scope, major deliverables, assumptions, and constraints.

In my case, a “scope document” aims to serve as the ultimate source of truth as to why a team should start a project. This document is the output of the discovery session. It contains the problem area, project goals, information architecture, key values, key user types, key propositions, key measures of success, key competitors, key challenges, key assumptions and key risks.

A feature is a functionality to use a certain aspect of the app

• Ability to sign up and authenticate

• Ability to create a profile

• Ability to view a profile

• Ability to edit a profile

A section is a subset of feature. It cannot exist on its own.

• Ex: Email Verification is a subset of signup and authenticate

• Ex: Uploading a photo is a subset of “create profile”

• Ex: Editing/reuploading a photo is a subset of “edit profile”

• Ex: Triggering a reset password is a subset of user management

Oxford defines it as “a diagram of the sequence of movements or actions of people or things involved in a complex system or activity.”

In my case, flowcharts signifies the start and end of a certain user journey. This journey involves certain inputs, processes, decisions, and outputs (which could be an input to another process).

Wikipedia defines it as a page schematic or screen blueprint. It is a visual guide that represents the skeletal framework of a website.

In my case, wireframes illustrates the structure, layout and high-level “functionalities” of a website or a web app.

Because the wireframe are only mid-fidelities (sometimes non-clickable), it means that some explanations are needed to emphasize interactions or the next sequences of an action.
