How the Foundation Sprint Sets You Up for Success 🚀

Bringing a new product or idea to life is hard, but getting it right from the start can make all the difference. In this talk, Katalin will introduce the Foundation Sprint, a structured two-day process from the book Click by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky. This method helps teams define their project’s core elements, craft a clear differentiation strategy, and choose the best path forward. By the end, you'll have a Founding Hypothesis—a powerful framework to guide your decisions and ensure your idea truly clicks with customers.
