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.
Companies worldwide trust WZ-IT
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.
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.
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
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.
Fixed price
One package, one price
The Scoping Sprint is billed once at a fixed price. The scope of work is set out in writing before it is commissioned.
Scoping Sprint
€1,490
excl. VAT, one-time
For projects whose scope is to be defined before development starts.
- Remote requirements workshop
- Target architecture with infrastructure and operations context
- Scope definition with an in and out list
- Effort and risk assessment
- Fixed-price offer for implementation
The Scoping Sprint costs €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.
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
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
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.
Custom software development

Which project should be defined?
Describe the starting position, the goal and the systems involved. We respond with questions and a proposed date for the workshop.
Common questions about the Scoping Sprint
Price, result, process and the path to implementation
€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.
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.
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 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.
Remotely, together with the people who own the affected process. We capture processes, user groups, data, interfaces and constraints.
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.
Let's talk about your project - honest and no strings attached
- Straight with Timo and Robin - no sales team, no pitch
- An honest take, including when we are not the right fit
- Concrete next steps for infrastructure, software or AI
No risk: worst case, you leave with a clearer understanding of your project than before.
“WZ-IT's advice on our Azure migration was technically sound and completely non-binding right from the intro call - we took away a great deal.”
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.”

“Communication with WZ-IT was open, friendly and professional from the very beginning. Mr. Wevelsiep and Mr. Zins responded to every one of our questions patiently, promptly and respectfully, and contributed their own suggestions and good ideas on how to modernize our server infrastructure and adapt it even better to our needs. Throughout, WZ-IT consistently kept our need for data sovereignty and GDPR compliance in mind. Even short-notice adjustments and change requests from our side were implemented quickly and patiently and integrated consistently into the overall concept. From planning to the final handover, every step was documented transparently and comprehensively - so if a provider change should ever become necessary, the documentation would let us onboard a successor into our infrastructure very quickly. We are extremely satisfied with WZ-IT and hope to continue working together for a long time.”

“WZ-IT provided very competent support in implementing our server and virtualization infrastructure. As part of the project, a Proxmox-based virtualization environment was set up along with a virtual machine for our application systems. Additionally, a structured backup concept was implemented. A particular focus was on security: the setup of a VPN tunnel and the clean implementation of encryption and access concepts were professionally executed. The structured consulting as well as the reliable and swift implementation deserve special mention. We are very satisfied with the services provided and are happy to recommend WZ-IT.”

“Timo and Robin from WZ-IT set up a RocketChat server for us - and I couldn't be more satisfied! From the initial consultation to the final implementation, everything was absolutely professional, efficient, and to my complete satisfaction. I particularly appreciate the clear communication, transparent pricing, and the comprehensive expertise that both bring to the table. Even after the setup, they take care of the maintenance, which frees up my time enormously and allows me to focus on other important areas of my business - with the good feeling that our IT is in the best hands. I can recommend WZ-IT without reservation and look forward to continuing our collaboration! (translated)”
