What does the Scoping Sprint cost?

From €1,490 excl. VAT, one-time. The price applies whether or not implementation is commissioned afterwards. Topics outside the described scope are defined up front.

What does the result contain?

The captured requirements, a target architecture with infrastructure and operations context, a scope definition with an in and out list, an effort and risk assessment, and a fixed-price offer for implementation.

Does WZ-IT have to carry out the implementation afterwards?

No. The result belongs to you and is documented so that you can present it to any other provider. The fixed-price offer is an offer, not an obligation.

When is the Production Readiness Audit the better choice?

When code already exists, for example from a prototype, an AI-generated application or a previous team. In that case the existing state is assessed instead of defining the scope from scratch.

How does the workshop run?

Remotely, together with the people who own the affected process. We capture processes, user groups, data, interfaces and constraints.

What happens after the fixed-price offer?

You decide on implementation. If you commission it, the defined scope is developed at the quoted fixed price. If you do not, the basis for decisions remains usable.

Scoping Sprint for Software Development

The scope is defined before development starts. The Scoping Sprint clarifies requirements, target architecture and effort, and ends with a fixed-price offer for implementation.

Starting point

A fit when the scope is not yet defined

An idea or an existing process is there, the scope of implementation is open
A prototype or a vibe-coded application is to become a viable product
A legacy system or a tool that grew over time is to be replaced
Several systems are to be connected through interfaces
A reliable price for implementation is needed before development starts

A concrete result

A basis for decisions with a price, not an estimate

The Scoping Sprint answers what will be built, how it will be operated and what implementation costs. The documents belong to you and can also be used with another provider.

A defined scope
An in and out list sets what belongs to the first implementation step and what moves to later stages.
Target architecture
Application, interfaces and data storage are designed as one coherent draft, including infrastructure and operations context.
Fixed-price offer
Effort and risks are assessed. For the defined scope you receive an offer with a fixed price.

If code already exists, for example from a prototype or AI-generated, reviewing it before production is the right step.

What is included

From an unclear plan to a scope you can decide on

The scope of the sprint is set before it is commissioned. The following elements are included, anything beyond them is defined up front.

Included

Requirements workshop
Business processes, user groups, data and system boundaries are captured remotely with the people responsible.
Target architecture
Application, interfaces and data storage are designed, including infrastructure and operations context.
Scope definition
An in and out list separates the first implementation step from later stages.
Effort and risk assessment
Work packages are given an effort estimate, open points and technical risks are named.
Fixed-price offer
For the defined scope you receive an offer with a fixed price for implementation.
A transferable basis for decisions
Requirements, architecture and scope are documented so that you can present them to any other provider.

A clear service boundary

Scoping defines the scope and does not replace implementation

Implementation, testing and delivery of the application
Visual UI deliverables beyond the structure of the interface
Procurement of licences, hardware and infrastructure
Ongoing operations, maintenance and support of the application

How it runs

Four steps from enquiry to fixed-price offer

Each step is completed before the next begins. Scope and price of the sprint are in writing before work starts.

01
Enquiry and assessment
You describe the plan, the starting position and the goal. We clarify whether the Scoping Sprint is the right entry point.
02
Workshop and inventory
In a remote workshop we capture processes, user groups, data and existing systems together with the people who own them.
03
Architecture and scope
Target architecture, work packages, the in and out list as well as effort and risks are worked out.
04
Fixed-price offer and decision
The result and the offer are presented. You then decide on implementation.

What we need for the Scoping Sprint

A description of the plan and the intended outcome
The people responsible for the affected process in the workshop
Existing documents, prototypes or screenshots, where available
An overview of existing systems, data and interfaces
Constraints such as dates, budget frame and regulatory requirements

Starting price

One package, one price

The Scoping Sprint is billed once. Scope of work and price are set out in writing before it is commissioned.

The Scoping Sprint costs from €1,490 excl. VAT, one-time. The result belongs to you and can be used independently of WZ-IT. Implementation is offered separately on that basis at a fixed price.

All prices are net and exclude statutory VAT. The offers are addressed to businesses.

Defined scope

Scoping Sprint

For projects whose scope is to be defined before development starts.

Sensible next steps

After the sprint the scope is set, implementation follows

The Scoping Sprint can be used on its own. On that basis WZ-IT takes on implementation, review and ongoing maintenance if you want it.

Software projects with reliable outcomes

Proof for modernization, API extension, architecture, deployment and ongoing operations.

WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
