Technical workshop
Make the difficult technical decisions early.
Work through architecture, integrations, and delivery risks before a build. Leave with documented choices, open questions, and a practical technical plan.
Overview
A technical workshop gives product and engineering teams a structured way to make decisions before committing to a build. We examine the proposed features, existing systems, data flows, and operational constraints together. Then we compare workable approaches and record their tradeoffs. The goal is an architecture that fits the problem, with clear integration boundaries and a plan for investigating anything the workshop alone cannot prove. Existing products can use the same process to plan a migration or major change.
What we work on
- Review requirements against the existing codebase and infrastructure
- Map services, data ownership, integrations, and access boundaries
- Compare architecture options against maintenance and operating constraints
- Identify technical spikes needed before reliable implementation estimates
What you receive
- An architecture outline with service and data-flow diagrams
- A record of technical choices and their tradeoffs
- An integration and dependency inventory
- A delivery outline with risks and investigation tasks
What shapes the cost?
Preparation depth, codebase size, integration complexity, and the number of decisions affect the cost. Hands-on technical investigations require additional scope.
What shapes the timeline?
Preparation and access reviews come before the working sessions. Follow-up investigation depends on what the architecture review uncovers.
What to bring to the first conversation
Bring architecture diagrams, repository access where appropriate, integration documentation, known technical problems, and your release requirements.

FAQ
Before we get started.
Who should join a technical workshop?
The people who understand the business requirements and the engineers responsible for the system should join. For an integration-heavy project, someone who understands the external systems is useful too. We keep the participant list tied to the decisions on the agenda.
Can you review the stack we already use?
Yes. We start with the existing stack, team knowledge, and operational requirements. A recommendation to change technology needs a concrete reason, such as an unsupported dependency or a requirement the current approach cannot meet.
Will we get a fixed development estimate afterward?
The workshop clarifies scope and exposes unknowns. If important assumptions still need a prototype, code review, or vendor confirmation, the estimate must reflect them. We record those dependencies so you can see what prevents a firm commitment.
