First time to hear about the Spint 0 idea...what a great way to kickoff a new team. In my organization, we call this Define Phase of the program and we use this time to a) define high level requirements and b) define who will plan each requirement. I like the additional items you set out for the Sprint 0 such as key decisions and success criteria.

Cool idea to treat your newsletter as a product and open up feedback with Producter!

Thanks for your input, Amy! It’s always very interesting to know how other companies work as well.

I’ve been wanting to use Producter some time ago. Seems like it has potential. Let’s see how it goes!

This is great! I haven't been a part of many sprint zero type weeks. I will say one thing that was an extra but still helpful was to get some user conversations in there as well when possible. Stakeholders are great but sometimes there's a huge gap between.

So true Mike! It could be a game changer to get user feedback in this early stage. That’s a great addition for an improved version of this post, thanks!
