Top 7 Unrealistic Expectations at the Project Discovery Phase

Based on Timspark's experience, the seven most common unrealistic expectations to tackle during the project discovery phase are:

1. Unrealistic deadlines: Expecting complex systems to be delivered in impractically short timeframes without understanding the complexity and effort involved.

2. 24/7 availability of developers: Assuming developers can or should be available at all times, which is unrealistic and can lead to burnout.

3. Mismatched technology visions: Wanting to use popular technologies without assessing whether they are the best fit for the project's specific needs.

4. Overambitious requests: Desiring advanced technological implementations, like AI, without providing necessary algorithms or understanding the technical requirements.

5. Incompatible requirements: Expecting high-quality features, such as video recognition or unlimited storage, on a limited budget without prioritizing needs.

6. Design on a dime: Underestimating the importance of the design phase and assuming it can be managed without dedicated resources or expertise.

7. Integration with numerous devices: Requesting compatibility with a wide array of devices without considering the complexity and cost implications, rather than focusing on key devices used by the target audience.
