Start as sprint plan Opens the Sprint Planner with a matching template.

  1. Customer needs and target accounts: qualify a service

    Observed problem, current workaround, cost of inaction and process context. Target segment, buying roles and pilot customers with confirmed needs.

  2. Users and channels: test service journeys and demand

    User tasks and touchpoints, separately from budget and contracting roles. Evidenced contact and sales channels with a measurable experiment.

  3. Value and naming: evidence benefits and bound commitments

    Measurable value with a baseline, service boundary and verifiable differentiation. A clear working name that communicates value and scope.

  4. Team and architecture: make a service operable

    Accountability, available capacity and evidenced capabilities. A traceable service path with automation, controls and operational evidence.

  5. Service packages and partners: standards, obligations and SLA boundaries

    Service catalog with standard scope, customer obligations, extras and tiered objectives. Verify partner contributions, sales support and competing interests transparently.

  6. Cost a service: investment, pricing, metrics and break-even

    Sponsor, acquisition costs, five-year costs and scaling assumptions with scenarios. Willingness to pay, billing unit, service metrics and recurring revenue.
