Sprint Zero & Application Roadmapping
A few weeks and a sliver of the budget make all the difference. Eureka Software's Sprint Zero offers intensive pre-development research and planning to set a solid foundation for project success and efficacy.
Sprint Zero
Maximize project potential
Eureka Software's Sprint Zero is an intensive pre-development phase led by our most senior engineers, designers, creatives, and managers. We conduct thorough research, strategic planning, and risk assessment to lay a robust foundation for your project and significantly enhance its chances of success and long-term efficacy.
Fuzzy MVP
The core features are mostly clear, but the complete 1.0 launch functionality is not.
Ambiguous architecture
Questions about the product, scope, and market are already answered. We figure out the best way to build it.
Large or unique project
Numerous identified market needs without a defined scope or optimal plan to fill said needs.
Our process
How it works
Stakeholder discovery
We start by documenting everything: your starting point, desired endpoints and goals, competitors, expectations, and more. This includes ideation between Eureka and your team on solutions and requirements.
Market business analysis
Our team begins a deep market analysis of users and competitors. This allows us to identify user needs and how they're qualitatively being filled, and ultimately prioritize MVP functionality for go-live and beyond.
Final outputs
We emerge with key priorities and a clear path forward for your team—MVP specs with estimated costs and core design concepts that form the backbone of your visual themes.
Comprehensive Project Scoping
During Sprint Zero, Eureka Software's most senior staff dive deep into your project requirements and business objectives over an intensive few weeks for a sliver of your overall budget. We conduct thorough market research, analyze competitors, and identify potential technological challenges that present opportunities and risks. This comprehensive scoping process allows us to define clear project goals by establishing realistic timelines and outlining resource requirements. As we gain a holistic understanding of your project landscape, our aim is that every subsequent development sprint is aligned with your business vision and market needs and ultimately adds incremental value.
Risk Mitigation and Architecture Planning
Our Sprint Zero phase places a strong emphasis on risk mitigation and architectural planning. Eureka's experienced team identifies potential obstacles and develops strategies to address them proactively. We outline a robust and scalable architecture that can accommodate future growth and technological advancements. This foresight minimizes the risk of costly mid-project changes—rest easy knowing your software is built on a solid, future-proof foundation. Our meticulous planning during Sprint Zero significantly reduces uncertainties and sets the stage for smooth project execution.
