Align teams and ship what matters

Many product teams begin with high energy: ideas are in place, first concepts often too. But in traditional processes, it takes a lot of time before a testable version is ready. With a Feasibility Sprint, we shorten that journey to just a few days – delivering clarity, focus, and a shared roadmap for project kickoff.

What is a Kickstart Sprint?

In agile product development, early user feedback and a well-defined scope have proven crucial for effective use of resources. Methods like continuous delivery or agile iterations accelerate implementation—but without clear direction, teams can get stuck in endless loops of revision.

A Kickstart Sprint addresses exactly this risk: rather than debating long concept drafts or lengthy feature lists, everyone focuses in just a few days on core questions: What should we test? What is technically feasible? How do we get from idea to a first reliable version? The result is alignment among all stakeholders and a roadmap for efficient execution.

That's what Judith from our UX/UI team dives into in her latest video (in German). She explains why an MVP isn't a half-finished product, but a learning tool to gain valuable insights early on.



Methodological Foundation

The Kickstart Sprint builds on principles that have stood the test of time in software and product development. By combining these approaches, we create a process that is both practical and efficiency-minded.

The Process:

How the Kickstart Sprint Works

Duration 2–3 days (onsite or remote)

Goal: Deliver a realistic MVP roadmap & initial tech strategy

Vision & Hypotheses (optional):

sharpening product vision, defining and prioritizing assumptions about users.

User Journeys & Feature Prioritization:

mapping key user workflows; identifying MVP-critical features; evaluating by feasibility, relevance, and effort.

Technical Feasibility & Architecture Planning:

assessing challenges and dependencies; selecting suitable tech based on requirements.

Roadmap & Development Strategy:

creating a reliable roadmap in stages; involving essential stakeholders to ensure alignment and momentum.

Benefits for Stakeholders and Teams

  • Transparency: Everyone gains a shared understanding of goals, features, and risks.

  • Focus: Instead of sprawling feature lists, there is a prioritized set of elements for the first version.

  • Efficiency: UX and tech risks are surfaced early, reducing unnecessary work.

  • Acceleration: The roadmap provides structure and allows for rapid entry into iterative development.

For us, a Kickstart Sprint is a vital part of modern product development. It quickly turns big ideas into a realistic, testable roadmap, and provides the foundation for focused, effective teamwork.
