Foundation Sprint Readiness

Assess whether a Foundation Sprint fits the team's current situation. Most sprints that fail were sprints that should not have been run. A 30-45 minute readiness diagnostic catches that failure mode before two days of facilitated work are spent.

When to Use

• A team is considering starting a Foundation Sprint and needs a fast diagnosis before committing two days.
• A founder or PM has a "should we run a Foundation Sprint?" question and wants structured input rather than a vibes check.
• An existing sprint commitment is on the calendar and the team wants to validate that prerequisites are in place.
• Re-running a Foundation Sprint after invalidated assumptions: use to confirm new context is ready.
