Plan adoption

Plan the kickoff that clarifies fit, pilot area, roles, and review for the method.

Plan the adoption kickoff

Plan a kickoff that checks fit, defines a pilot area, and prepares the next review loop.

Derived automatically

Variant for Process model. The plan is derived from method form, profile, and runsheet.

Runsheet
Fit
Make fit and limits visible

Use the kickoff to check High-risk ideas against Clear implementation tasks and keep the pilot intentionally small.

Pilot logic
Pilot first, then roll out

A pilot area makes roles, cadence, and success signals testable before the method is adopted more broadly.

  1. 1

    Orientation

    15-20 min

    Introduce core elements and principles of Design Sprint. Use profile and runsheet for preparation.

  2. 2

    Check fit

    15-25 min

    Check where Design Sprint helps concretely and where the method does not fit the current context.

    15-20 min

    Define pilot area, time span, and success signals. Keep the scope small enough for fast learning.
