Discovery Sprint
Validate scope, target user, and tech approach before any build commits.
What this sprint is
Before you commit to a Build Sprint, we run a 1-week Discovery to confirm scope-fit, target user, success metrics, and the tech stack. The output is a signed Statement of Work the next sprint can run against.
What you get
- Signed Statement of Work covering scope, deliverables, and acceptance criteria for the next sprint
- Architecture diagram and tech stack recommendation
- User stories and acceptance criteria for the first Build Sprint
- Risk register and key open questions
- Cost estimate for follow-on sprints
How 1 week unfolds
Day 1 — Kickoff
Stakeholder interviews. Capture business goal, target user, success metric, and known constraints.
Day 2 — User journeys
Map current-state and to-be user journeys. Identify the single most-important user flow to ship first.
Day 3 — Tech architecture
Stack recommendation, data model sketch, integration map, hosting plan, security posture.
Day 4 — Scope cut-line
Define MVP scope vs. v2 scope. Identify must-haves, nice-to-haves, and explicitly de-scoped items.
Day 5 — SOW review
Walkthrough call. You sign off on the SOW. The next sprint kicks off the following Monday.
Discovery Sprint questions, answered
Because building against unclear scope is the #1 reason engagements stall. A 1-week Discovery surfaces the disagreements, scope creep, and integration risks before you've committed engineering time. The SOW it produces is what makes our Pay-After-Sprint Promise viable.
