Sprint 0: the basis for successful digital strategies

At Cube, we start every collaboration with an in-depth analysis of the business model and the market in which your organisation operates. This first phase - Sprint 0 - is not just an introduction, but an opportunity to dive deep into the organisation and its processes.

What is Sprint 0?

Sprint 0 is the first, intensive phase of the collaboration in which we gather a lot of information in a short period of time. We work closely together, organise several sessions and use the insights gained to clearly formulate the issue. This preparation ensures that the subsequent process can proceed quickly and effectively. A well-prepared organisation means a greater chance of achieving success. In Sprint 0, we lay the foundations for the development of digital solutions that move your organisation forward.

Het doel van Sprint 0 is het in kaart brengen van je bedrijfsvoering, van producten tot klantrelaties, voor een op maat gemaakte digitale strategie.

What is the purpose of Sprint 0?

The aim of Sprint 0 is to identify, together with you, the essence of your business operations. We do this by examining different aspects of your organisation and its processes. From products and services to partnerships and customer relationships, we map everything to ensure that the digital strategy we develop is a perfect fit for your situation.

Plan your sprint 0

Key components of Sprint 0.

Products & services

The first important part is to create an overview of the products and services your organisation provides. What characteristics do these products have? For example, is there a broad product range, and how is it managed? In the case of a product information system (PIM), it is important to know how this system relates to the needs of your organisation. We analyse the efficiency of your current system and work with you to find ways of offering products and services in the most effective way. Our focus here is always on optimising the customer experience by properly structuring and presenting your offering.

Relationship management

Another key element of Sprint 0 is examining relationship management within your organisation. How are customer relationships currently managed? Do you already have a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system in place? Or is there perhaps a need to set up such a system? Cube helps you examine how customer relationship management can be improved and automated, for instance by deploying marketing automation tools. We also look at how the follow-up of leads can be made easier and faster, so that your organisation can respond more effectively to customer needs.

Customer segments

Having a clear picture of your customer segments is essential for any organisation. Sprint 0 provides an opportunity to map out different target groups and understand what drives them. What are your customers' buying reasons? What are their specific needs and wants? By examining these customer segments, we can better determine how best to reach these groups with a specific digital strategy.

Unique Selling Points

Every organisation has something unique to offer. These quickly emerge during Sprint 0. By making these insightful, it becomes clear how you stand out in the market. What makes your product and/or service so special? Why would customers choose your organisation over the competition? We help you make these Unique Selling Points (USPs) clear and translate them into your digital strategy, so that they show the strength and distinction of your organisation.

Channels and sources

Once the USPs have been clearly described, it is time to identify the different channels and sources that are important for your organisation. What sources of information are there? How can we retrieve or send data within the distribution chain? Mapping these channels is important for developing a digital strategy that works efficiently and gets all the necessary information to the right people in the right way.

Partners and network

Collaboration with partners often plays an indispensable role in an organisation's success. Therefore, in Sprint 0 we also pay attention to your organisation's partners and networks. Who do you currently work with and who would you like to involve in the future? What is the information that needs to be shared between the different partners, and how do we want to exchange this information? We will help you make the collaboration as effective as possible by deploying the right digital tools.

Get in touch

We help corporates move like start-ups, and start-ups grow into corporates.

Sprint 0 is our inventory phase. In a few weeks, we completely map out the scope of a project: from goals and user requirements to technical requirements. In this way, we ensure a flying start and a solid foundation for what follows.

We work on a co-creation basis. This means that we work intensively with your team to come up with smart, scalable solutions together. We apply our C-U-B-E model: Create, Invent, Build and Evolve.
