A SPRINT AS A FIRST TEST
A supplier to the process industry ran the first Accelerator Sprint with IOX – before the format even had that name.
Project / Client
A supplier to the process industry wanted to find out whether a product idea based on connected technology would hold up before releasing budget for development. To do so, it ran a short, paid sprint with IOX – the first sprint of this kind at IOX.
What We Built
FORMAT: A fixed time frame, a clearly defined outcome and a price agreed before the start. The sprint tests assumptions, sharpens the use case and evaluates the technical options. The result is a basis for decision-making, not a finished development.
TEAM: A small IOX team works directly with the client’s experts. The client contributes its knowledge of the product and the market, IOX its experience with connected products.
The Result
The approach was confirmed. A small, clearly limited entry gives the client a solid basis for the next decision. Internally, the client valued the result considerably higher than the cost of the sprint.
It created a format that has been part of IOX’s offering ever since. Today, the Accelerator Sprint is at the start of many projects: first the small paid entry, then the decision on the larger development.
