Sprint 0: From Idea to Implementation Blueprint in Days, Not Months
Most projects fail because they start building before they start understanding. Sprint 0 is the antidote: a structured 2–5 day workshop that aligns your stakeholders, maps your users, and produces a complete Roadbook — so your development team knows exactly what to build, why, and how.
MAKR's Sprint 0 Workshop is a structured 2-to-5-day product discovery engagement designed for enterprises about to launch a new application or digitalize an existing workflow. Led by Romain Grimmonpré, the workshop aligns stakeholders around a shared product vision, maps user needs and journeys, produces high-fidelity wireframes and BPMN process diagrams, and captures all technical requirements into a single deliverable: The Sprint 0 Roadbook. Refined over 15+ engagements across manufacturing, logistics, and financial services, the Roadbook gives any development team everything they need to start building with confidence.
Who This Is For
- Product Owners and Business Sponsors about to launch a new application or digitalize an existing workflow
- Teams that need stakeholder alignment before they can start building
- Organizations tired of projects that drift, stall, or deliver the wrong thing
What Happens During Sprint 0
Vision & Alignment
Stakeholder interviews, vision board creation, measurable business goals, and identification of roadblocks. Everyone in the room, aligned on the same objective.
User Needs & Journeys
Persona definition, user needs mapping, and user journey design for every identified need. Build for real people, not assumptions.
Wireframes & Flows
High-fidelity wireframes in your visual style. BPMN process diagrams for current-state and future-state flows. Usability heuristics review (Nielsen's 10 principles).
Technical Discovery
Meetings with IT and Infrastructure teams. Integration mapping (APIs, SSO, security policies). Data architecture and performance requirements. No surprises at build time.
The Roadbook
All findings consolidated into a single Sprint 0 Roadbook — the definitive document your development team needs to write user stories, estimate effort, and start building with confidence.
The Sprint 0 Roadbook
Your complete implementation blueprint.
- Product vision board & stakeholder alignment summary
- Persona profiles & user journey maps
