# Discovery

A discovery is the first part of a delivery stream.

It allows us to collaborate with the client to explore the mission that has been set for the stream.

A discovery is not a one-off thing. It's required to start a stream of work, but then key points of change or challenge may highlight the need for another discovery.

The process for discovery is:

1. Start with a [Discovery Briefing](/the-convivio-cookbook/client-projects/discovery/discovery-briefing.md)
2. Do [Discovery Planning](/the-convivio-cookbook/client-projects/discovery/discovery-planning.md) to decide which modules are required and how to deliver them
3. Deliver the required [Discovery Modules](/the-convivio-cookbook/client-projects/discovery/discovery-modules.md)
4. Present the [Discovery Findings](/the-convivio-cookbook/client-projects/discovery/discovery-findings.md)
5. Transition to a [Prototyping](/the-convivio-cookbook/client-projects/prototyping.md) phase to test the findings
