Foundation Sprint Basics

Day 1 morning of a Foundation Sprint. The team makes four foundational choices explicit: who the product is for, what important problem it solves, why this team has a right to win, and what customers do today instead. The output is one coherent strategic frame, not four separable decisions.

When to Use

• Day 1 morning of a Foundation Sprint, after the brief is signed.
• The team has sufficient customer and market knowledge (per readiness verdict) to make informed choices.
• Each of the four sub-decisions is open or contested; the team has not pre-aligned on any of them.
• The Decider is in the room and ready to sign off on the bundled output before lunch.
