Your team's time commitment across the Discovery Sprint is 2 to 3 hours per week: one kick-off session, two process workshops, and a final deliverables review. Redefine handles all documentation, process mapping, and statement of work drafting.
Why most Business Central implementations get scoped wrong
Starting a Business Central implementation without a Discovery Sprint is the most expensive mistake most buyers make
The old way: jump straight to implementation
Week 1
Sign an open-ended statement of work with vague scope. Implementation starts with assumptions buried in footnotes, not documented deliverables.
Week 4
Consultant discovers processes that were not in scope. Change order arrives. Budget increases by 30 to 60 percent.
Week 8
Integration requirements surface that were not scoped. Another delay. Finance escalates to leadership.
Week 20
Go-live delayed. System configured around consultant's assumptions, not your actual workflows. User adoption suffers.
Final cost: 40 to 80 percent over the original proposal. Timeline extended by 3 to 5 months. No one owns the scope gap.
The new way: Discovery Sprint first
Day 1
Sprint starts. Redefine maps your current processes, documents every Business Central module requirement, and identifies integration dependencies.
Day 7
Process map reviewed with your team. Every assumption confirmed or corrected in writing. No surprises after this point.
Day 14
Signed statement of work for your full implementation delivered alongside the process documentation. Every deliverable named. Every integration scoped.
Day 21
Full implementation Sprint 1 begins. Your team knows exactly what is coming. No scope ambiguity. No change orders on known requirements.
Final cost: matches the statement of work. Timeline on target. Your team walks in prepared, not surprised.

Discovery Sprint investment signal
A Business Central Discovery Sprint removes the scope ambiguity that drives implementation cost overruns. Redefine does not publish Discovery Sprint pricing here because scope varies. Submit your brief and receive a fixed-fee proposal within 3 days.

Every deliverable in your Business Central Discovery Sprint
What you receive at the end of your 2-week Business Central Discovery Sprint
Every deliverable is named in writing before Sprint 1 begins. None of these are assumptions. All are included in the fixed fee.
Business Central process map document
Your current business processes mapped to Business Central modules. Every workflow documented: what enters the system, what it triggers, and what the output is. Built from your team's actual operations, not generic templates.
Gap analysis report
A prioritized list of gaps between your current processes and Business Central default configuration. Identifies where standard Business Central delivers out-of-the-box and where customization or extension is required. Scope decisions documented before the implementation statement of work is written.
Integration requirements document
Every system that must connect to Business Central identified and documented. Shopify, electronic data interchange, payroll, customer relationship management, warehouse management: each integration named with its data flow, frequency, and technical approach. Scoped before the implementation statement of work is priced.
Data migration scope assessment
Your source systems assessed for data migration complexity. Record types inventoried, data quality issues flagged, migration approach recommended. Prevents the data migration surprises that derail 60 percent of Business Central implementations in weeks 4 to 8.
Business Central license role recommendation
Every user role in your organization mapped to the correct Business Central license tier. Essentials, Premium, and Team Member allocations defined by role, not headcount. Cloud Solution Provider channel pricing applied. Finance can see the exact annual license cost before implementation starts.
Signed statement of work for your full implementation
A fixed-fee statement of work for your complete Business Central implementation. Every deliverable named. Every assumption documented. Every integration scoped. Signed at the close of the Discovery Sprint so implementation Sprint 1 begins the following week with no gaps in scope.

Company
JWE Inc, business-to-business multi-channel business requiring enterprise resource planning unification, Shopify integration, and automated workflows to replace fragmented manual operations.
Problem
Inventory, orders, and customer data were spread across multiple disconnected systems. Manual workflows created data inconsistencies and increased operational overhead. The team needed a unified enterprise resource planning system that could sync Shopify data in real time and eliminate daily manual exports. Previous attempts to scope an implementation without a discovery phase produced a proposal so vague that it was unusable for budget approval.
Solution and result
A Discovery Sprint produced the process map, integration scope, and data migration plan needed to write a precise fixed-fee statement of work. Implementation began the following week with every assumption documented. The resulting Business Central environment with Shopify and Uniform Market integrations was delivered on scope, on budget, with zero change orders. Automation eliminated manual reconciliation entirely.

How the Redefine Discovery Sprint is different
Why the Redefine Business Central Discovery Sprint delivers what other implementation partners skip
Most implementation partners skip discovery because it delays their billing start date. Redefine prices discovery as a standalone deliverable because undiscovered scope is the single biggest cause of implementation cost overruns.
Fixed fee, not a discovery retainer
Other partners run open-ended discovery phases billed by the hour. The Redefine Discovery Sprint has a fixed price and a fixed scope. What you pay is what you were quoted. What you receive is what the proposal said.
2 weeks, not 6 weeks
Traditional discovery phases run 4 to 8 weeks because they are scoping as they go. Redefine Discovery Sprints complete in 2 weeks because the process map template, gap analysis framework, and integration questionnaire are pre-built from 340+ Business Central implementations.
Statement of work delivered at Sprint close
The Discovery Sprint ends with a signed statement of work for your full Business Central implementation. You do not need to wait another 2 to 4 weeks for the implementation proposal. Implementation Sprint 1 starts the week after Discovery Sprint sign-off.
Named consultant from day one
The consultant who runs your Discovery Sprint is the one who delivers your implementation. There is no handoff between a sales consultant and a delivery team. The person who maps your processes owns the project through go-live.
License recommendation included at no extra cost
Every Discovery Sprint includes a role-based Business Central license audit. Your finance team sees the exact annual license cost before the implementation statement of work is signed. Cloud Solution Provider channel discounts applied to every recommendation.
Discovery Sprint fee credited toward implementation
In many engagements, the Discovery Sprint fee is credited toward the full implementation statement of work value. The sprint is an investment in scope clarity, not an additional cost on top of implementation. Ask Redefine about credit terms when you book.
Questions buyers ask
Business Central Discovery Sprint questions buyers ask
Every Business Central Discovery Sprint includes: a Business Central process map document covering every business workflow mapped to Business Central modules, a gap analysis report identifying configuration and customization requirements, an integration requirements document naming every connected system, a data migration scope assessment for your source systems, a role-based Business Central license recommendation with Cloud Solution Provider pricing, and a signed fixed-fee statement of work for your full Business Central implementation. All six deliverables are named in the Discovery Sprint proposal before work begins. None are add-ons.
The Business Central Discovery Sprint runs for 2 weeks from kick-off. Kick-off happens within 7 days of statement of work sign-off. During the 2 weeks, your team participates in a kick-off session (90 minutes), two process workshops (90 minutes each), and a deliverables review (60 minutes). Redefine handles all documentation, process mapping, integration scoping, and statement of work drafting in between those sessions. At the close of week 2, your team receives all six deliverables and a signed statement of work for the full Business Central implementation ready to begin the following week.
Redefine does not publish Discovery Sprint pricing on this page because the fee varies based on your business complexity, number of integration points to scope, and data migration source system count. A simple single-entity Business Central deployment with one integration has a different scope than a multi-entity operation with electronic data interchange and a legacy enterprise resource planning migration. Submit your brief and Redefine will produce a fixed-fee Discovery Sprint proposal within 3 business days. The proposal includes a line-by-line scope and the exact fee before you commit to anything.
Most buyers who say they know what they want from Business Central have identified the outcomes they need, not the full scope of configuration required to deliver them. The Discovery Sprint is not about figuring out your business goals: it is about documenting exactly how Business Central must be configured to achieve them. Process mapping, integration scoping, and data migration assessment surface the specific gaps between "what we want" and "what Business Central does out-of-the-box" before an implementation partner writes a proposal. Without that documentation, any fixed-fee implementation statement of work is built on assumptions, not verified requirements.
Yes. The Business Central Discovery Sprint is designed for remote delivery. Process workshops are conducted via video call with screen sharing. All documentation is shared via a secure project workspace. Redefine has completed Discovery Sprints with clients across North America, Europe, and the Middle East entirely remotely without any reduction in deliverable quality. On-site delivery is available for complex multi-site operations where physical walkthrough of warehouse or operational workflows adds meaningful scope clarity. Ask Redefine about your specific situation when you submit your brief.
Fit check
Is the Business Central Discovery Sprint right for your organization?
Strong fit for the Discovery Sprint
- You are planning a Business Central implementation and want a fixed-fee statement of work before committing to a partner
- Your finance team needs a line-by-line budget before the board will approve the implementation spend
- You received an open-ended implementation proposal from another partner and want to validate the scope before signing
- You have integrations (Shopify, electronic data interchange, payroll, warehouse) that need to be scoped before any implementation begins
- You are migrating from Dynamics GP, Dynamics NAV, QuickBooks, or a legacy enterprise resource planning system and want data migration complexity documented before pricing
Not the right fit for the Discovery Sprint
- You are already mid-implementation and need a rescue or optimization service
- You need only a single specific integration or feature and not a full implementation scope
- Your budget for the implementation has not been approved or confirmed yet
