Turning architectural decisions into a reliable foundation

A focused implementation sprint that turns architectural decisions into a solid, production-ready foundation internal teams can build on with confidence.

An Architecture Review creates clarity.
The Implementation Sprint turns that clarity into something tangible.

Many internal projects fail not because decisions were wrong, but because they were never translated into a clean, executable structure.

The Implementation Sprint exists to prevent exactly that gap.

What the Sprint Is (and Is Not)

The Implementation Sprint is:

  • a focused, time-boxed engagement
  • a practical implementation of the agreed target architecture
  • a foundation that internal teams can confidently build upon

The Implementation Sprint is not:

  • a full project delivery
  • a feature-complete product build
  • an open-ended development phase

Its purpose is to establish structure and direction, not volume.

What We Build

During the sprint, we typically implement:

Architectural Foundation

  • project and module structure aligned with the target architecture
  • clear separation of responsibilities (UI, domain, infrastructure)
  • conventions and patterns for long-term maintainability

Core Functional Modules

  • one or two real, business-relevant modules (e.g. admin, control, reporting)
  • real data models and workflows
  • extension points for future development

Security & Operational Baseline

  • role and access concepts (where applicable)
  • production-ready configuration
  • deployment-ready setup

Knowledge Transfer

  • explanation of architectural decisions
  • handover-ready codebase
  • guidance for future internal development

The result is not a prototype, but a production-capable foundation.

How the Sprint Works

1. Kickoff & Scope Definition

We align on:

  • sprint goals
  • scope boundaries
  • concrete outcomes

The sprint scope is fixed upfront to maintain focus and predictability.

2. Focused Implementation

We implement the defined scope in a tightly coordinated phase, with:

  • regular alignment
  • early validation
  • architectural consistency

3. Review & Handover

At the end of the sprint, we:

  • review the implemented foundation
  • explain structure and decisions
  • outline sensible next steps

The system is handed over in a state suitable for internal continuation.

Duration

An Implementation Sprint typically runs 4 to 6 weeks, depending on scope and complexity.

The fixed duration is intentional. It enforces clarity, focus, and decision-making.

What You Gain

After the sprint, you will have:

  • a clean, understandable system foundation
  • a shared architectural reference
  • reduced long-term risk
  • a realistic basis for further planning

Most importantly: your internal teams can continue without inheriting structural uncertainty.

Engagement & Fee

The Implementation Sprint is offered as a fixed-price engagement.

Fee range: €30,000 – €45,000 (excl. VAT)
The exact fee depends on scope and is defined upfront.

There is no billing by day or hour.

What Comes Next

After the sprint, typical paths include:

  • internal development by your team
  • additional focused sprints
  • architectural guidance via an [Evolution Retainer]

There is no obligation to continue beyond the sprint.

Getting the fundamentals right

The Implementation Sprint is not about speed.
It is about getting the fundamentals right.

We build less — so you can build safely.
