We know that the most valuable Enterprise Search solutions are created in the intersection between business goals, user needs and IT capabilities. This means the solution has to create value for the business, the users must want to use it, and we must be able to create it. We recommend our customers to conduct a pre-project labeled “Sprint 0”, in order to uncover how to create such Enterprise Search solutions.
Comperio’s best practice approach for Enterprise Search projects includes a pre-project phase, which we call “Sprint 0”. This name “Sprint “ is associated with agile methods like Scrum, and points forward to a developing phase with several Sprints, where working software is delivered. The goal of Sprint 0 is to clarify user needs, business goals, and technical opportunities and limitations before we actually start implementing the solution.
