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

1

Vision & Alignment

Stakeholder interviews, vision board creation, measurable business goals, and identification of roadblocks. Everyone in the room, aligned on the same objective.

2

User Needs & Journeys

Persona definition, user needs mapping, and user journey design for every identified need. Build for real people, not assumptions.

3

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).

4

Technical Discovery

Meetings with IT and Infrastructure teams. Integration mapping (APIs, SSO, security policies). Data architecture and performance requirements. No surprises at build time.

5

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
  • High-fidelity wireframes (Figma)
  • BPMN process diagrams (current-state & future-state)
  • Integration & infrastructure requirements
  • Security & SSO specifications
  • Prioritized feature backlog

The Roadbook is yours. You can hand it to any development team — including ours — and they will know exactly what to build.
