It all starts with the discovery
At Yahuma, the discovery is the foundation of an implementation project. It allows everyone to align
on the goals of your organization so we can collaborate on creating lasting data capabilities.
Collaborative approach
We met stakeholders wherever they are. We will dive deeper into the technical details with your
engineers and focus more on strategy and utilize cases with your non-technical stakeholders.
Experience, not assumptions
We utilize our experiences to craft proposals based on the needs of your organization. We are tool
agnostic and we will assist you to implement an adaptable and cost-effective infrastructure.
Comprehensive summary
We capture our recommendations and your data needs in a report created to be read by a diverse
range of stakeholder groups. Our clients always share the discovery report with their stakeholders,
investors, analysts, leadership, and engineers.
Seamless transition to implementation
The same Yahuma team members that collaborate with you during the discovery phase will also lead
your implementation, and they will have all the context required to hit the ground running.

the scope of the discovery.
The final output of our discovery is an editable report in Google Docs or Microsoft Word file. We can
also create additional outputs such as slide-based presentations where necessary.

all the discoveries to be paired with an implementation to facilitate a smooth transition between the
phases.
We recommend starting a project when you start feeling the limitations of your existing data
capabilities. It could take the form of limits in reporting granularity, manual workflows, inability to
personalize marketing, or data discrepancies.
