Discovery Sprint

The problem behind the problem

The Discovery Sprint is for teams facing a development decision who want to be sure they’re building the right thing. In three working days, we clarify what users actually need, which assumptions hold, and what your next decision can be built on.

excl. VAT, 3 working days

Who is it for?

For product managers, CPOs and founders facing a bigger development decision. Especially when solutions are already being discussed internally but the actual problem hasn’t been clearly defined yet, or when the team is pulling in different directions.

What you get

• You don’t build past the actual need, because the problem is clearly on the table first.
• Your team shares a common picture of what problem you’re solving and for whom.
• You can communicate clearly internally – and to investors – why you’re building this.
• You know which assumptions hold and which don’t, before development budget is built on them.
• You have a clear next step: what should be built, what shouldn’t, and in what order.

What’s included

• Structured user and stakeholder interviews (3–5)

• Synthesis session: patterns, contradictions, blind spots

• Opportunity map as a collaborative board

• Clear recommendation: what should be built next, what shouldn’t, and why

• Sprint readout (PDF)

• Working session with your team

Why work with me?

I’ve done discovery work in startups pitching the following week, and in teams that had been building past the same problem for years. In the Impact Hub Vienna programmes and at the TU Wien Innovation Incubation Center (i²c), I support founders in turning ideas into workable foundations. What always holds: the right problem is rarely the first one someone names. I specialise in finding it.
