HRIS Discovery Sprint

An HRIS Discovery Sprint is a collaborative design thinking process that creates a shared understanding of a project’s challenges, outcomes and value. This knowledge is documented, and used to make more informed decisions on the design of a high resolution inventory. It enables innovative thinking and approaches that help to advance an organization’s business goals, decision making capabilities and inventory use cases.

Typically, a Discovery Sprint includes a review of:

  • Available data to support each phase of the forest and natural resource inventory project.

  • Use Cases related to the inventory, and requirements for inventory precision and accuracy.

  • Cost-effective and timely ideas, options and alternatives for each phase of the project. 

A Discovery Sprint consists of a mix of information gathering, collaborative activities and team discussions - all of which are meant to ensure we're focusing on the needs of the business and it's users.

WHY START WITH A DISCOVERY SPRINT?

The key value our clients see is the opportunity – at a relatively low cost – to quickly refine the scope and scale of a new inventory. A Discovery Sprint also provides an improved understanding of data dependencies, options for continual inventory updates, and resources for implementation.

Begin at the Beginning

A Discovery Sprint is a modest and SMART investment of time with stakeholders and users to research and document the dimensions and scope of challenges – to better understand what is working well and what's not. We value better outcomes over more outputs.

Test Assumptions

We explore the needs and pain-points with users and stakeholders. We gather evidence, so the project design and solution will add value and scale to meet the business needs and information requirements of use cases for the inventory.

Work Across Team Silos

Keeping it interesting and collaborating across roles avoids working in silos. We engage stakeholders and users, so that a project design is practical and cost effective. The goal is to ensure we are solving the right problems by delivering the right things – across entire the supply chain.

Learnings and Desired Outcomes

A "Discovery Sprint Summary" outlines the primary activities and timelines for each phase of proposed HRIS inventory project. This information will enable project managers, proponents or solution providers to develop a more detailed project work plan.
