Operating Model
A practical model for startups and innovation teams that need to move from concept to production-ready MVP quickly, while keeping architecture and release quality under control.
Outcome focus: faster time-to-market, more room for iteration, and a delivery rhythm grounded in real user feedback.
Typically 1-2 weeks
Validate user journeys, define the MVP boundary, and align product and technical scope before full development starts.
2-week sprints
Build in short, iterative sprints with demo and sign-off moments, combining AI-assisted implementation with senior engineering supervision.
Typically 1-2 weeks
Prepare a controlled release, monitor live behavior, and stabilize based on early user feedback.
Collaboration requirement: keep a domain expert or product stakeholder available consistently for feedback and decision-making during the trajectory.
When this model fits best
The phased structure makes progress predictable while preserving flexibility to adapt backlog priorities as you learn.
