Framework
First Sprint Workshop
A framework for deciding what to build first when everything feels urgent. Three axes, four questions, one tool to help your team reach consensus without guesswork.
In every operational software project there's a critical moment: the team has 15 possible modules, 3 stakeholders with different priorities, and no shared criteria for deciding where to start. This workshop solves that. In 30 minutes or less, the team evaluates each candidate module against three concrete axes and leaves with a sprint plan based on data, not hierarchy.
The 3 evaluation axes
Pain
How much does it hurt today not having this?
Unlock
How many other modules depend on this existing?
Risk
How much technical or business uncertainty does it have?
The 4 questions that sort everything
What hurts so much it can't wait for sprint 2?
What unlocks the most things if we do it first?
What has so much uncertainty we need to validate before committing?
What seems important but, if we removed it, nobody would miss it?
The tool
Add your project modules, evaluate each one across the 3 axes, and get a suggested sprint plan. Data is saved in your browser for the session.
