Understand
Phase One
During the Understand phase, your team comes together to explore the
business problem from all angles. You’ll create shared knowledge and
essentially unite under a shared brain.
This phase involves lightning talks, which are 10- to 15-minute sessions given by knowledge experts who discuss different aspects of the business problem. For example, one expert might talk about the business case, another might present a competitor audit, and a third might go over existing user research.
The Sprint Master captures the ideas and information created on whiteboards around the room. Team members can then use these whiteboards as visual references and inspiration for the rest of the sprint.
