Kick-Start Sprints: Intensive Strategic Support

Moving from idea to concrete action in record time

Kick-Start Sprints

Intensive and iterative startup sprints to launch projects that have been on hold for months or even years

Do you have a stagnating project? A business or organizational idea that will bring you value? A concept to validate quickly before investing?

Our Kick-Start Sprints are intensive custom sessions that enable your leadership teams to move from idea to concrete action in record time.

Let’s discuss and choose the sprint that best fits your needs together.

"Design" Sprint


The principle: Transform your idea into a concrete action plan

Your idea deserves better than a PowerPoint that's been sitting in a folder for months. Many leaders have brilliant concepts that remain in draft form: scattered notes, meeting discussions, but nothing structured to move to action.

We transform your idea into an executable project in 5 structured steps

The duration of each step adapts to the complexity of your project.

Step 1 - STRUCTURE: Clarify the vision, define the scope, identify stakeholders, map the existing situation

Step 2 - ALIGN: Alignment with your field teams and various stakeholders

Step 3 - CHALLENGE: Concepts, technical reality check, competitive analysis, business validation, risk identification

Step 4 - PLAN: Detailed roadmap, estimated budget, required team, realistic timeline

Step 5 - FINALIZE: Writing the final PDF report with executive summary and recommendations

You get:

At the end of these 5 steps, no more "we'll see later", you have a complete immediately usable file:

  • Detailed functional specifications document
  • Technical architecture diagram with justified technology choices
  • Roadmap with timeline and budget by phase
  • Validation plan to test your concept
  • Risk analysis and mitigation strategies
  • Final PDF report with executive summary and strategic recommendations

Result: everything you need to present the project to your investors, recruit a team, or launch a call for proposals. Your idea finally becomes a concrete project with a viable execution plan.

"Prototyping" Sprint


The principle: Let's end theoretical debates, let's create a concrete and testable prototype

How many meetings have you spent debating features without ever seeing concretely what it looks like? How many misunderstandings could have been avoided with a manipulable prototype?

In 4 structured steps, we create a functional prototype that your teams and clients can test, critique and improve:

The duration of each step adapts to the complexity of your project.

Step 1 - FRAME: Define core prototype functionalities, main user journey, technical constraints

Step 2 - DESIGN: Wireframes, UX/UI mockups, technical architecture, tool selection

Step 3 - DEVELOP: Prototype coding, essential feature integration, internal testing

Step 4 - FINALIZE: User testing, adjustments, documentation and recommendations report

You get:

At the end of these 4 steps, no more empty discussions, you have something concrete to show:

  • Functional prototype accessible online or on mobile
  • Documented source code reusable for final development
  • User guide to present the prototype to your teams
  • User feedback collected and analyzed
  • Evolution recommendations based on testing
  • Technical feasibility report for project continuation

Result: you validate your concept with real users, identify improvement points and get a solid foundation for complete development. No more misunderstandings, no more surprises, you know exactly where you're going.

"Proof of Concept" Sprint


The principle: Validate feasibility before committing tens or hundreds of thousands of euros

Do you have an innovative idea but doubts about its technical feasibility? Are you hesitating to launch a project without knowing if it's truly achievable with your budget and constraints?

In 4 structured steps, we concretely test the feasibility of your project and remove all doubts:

The duration of each step adapts to the complexity of your project.

Step 1 - ANALYZE: In-depth technical audit, identification of major challenges, constraint evaluation

Step 2 - TEST: Feasibility testing on critical points, API and integration validation

Step 3 - PROVE: Development of a functional technical demonstration, performance testing

Step 4 - SYNTHESIZE: Results analysis, strategic recommendations, final report writing

You get:

At the end of these 4 steps, you have all the answers to make an informed decision:

  • Functional technical demonstration proving feasibility
  • Detailed analysis of technical risks and workaround solutions
  • Precise evaluation of development costs and maintenance
  • Recommended technical architecture with optimal technology stack
  • Realistic development timeline with milestones and necessary resources
  • Executive PDF report with reasoned GO/NO-GO recommendation

Result: you invest with full knowledge of the facts. Either you launch the project with certainty that it will succeed, or you save months of fruitless development. In all cases, you make the right decision.

"Project Analysis" Sprint


The principle: Unblock your project that has been stagnating for months

Is your project moving at a snail's pace? Are teams demotivated? Are delays accumulating and the budget exploding? You no longer know how to tackle this project that seemed so simple at the start?

In 4 structured steps, we identify the real blockages and establish an effective rescue plan:

The duration of each step adapts to the complexity of your project.

Step 1 - DIAGNOSE: Complete project audit, team interviews, root cause analysis of blockages

Step 2 - EVALUATE: Technical review of existing code/architecture, team skills assessment

Step 3 - RESTRUCTURE: Roadmap redesign, feature prioritization, resource reorganization

Step 4 - PLAN: Detailed recovery plan, new working methods, executive report

You get:

At the end of these 4 steps, your project gets back on track with a clear vision:

  • Complete dysfunction diagnosis with identified causes
  • Restructured and realistic roadmap with feature prioritization
  • Actionable recovery plan with defined steps and responsibilities
  • Organization recommendations optimized team and work processes
  • Revised budget and realistic timeline for continued development
  • Communication strategy to remotivate teams and reassure management

Result: your project regains positive momentum. Teams are realigned, objectives are clear and achievable. No more wasted time, you restart with a strategy that works and motivated teams.
