Team Alignment Sprint

Who this is for

Organizations where data, product, and ops teams all depend on the platform, but don’t agree on ownership or priorities.

What this is

An intensive sprint focused on how people work around the data platform, not just the technology:

  • Stakeholder interviews to map expectations, pain points, and responsibilities.
  • Workshops to clarify ownership (who owns what, where handoffs happen).
  • Definition of SLAs, rituals, and decision rules around data work.

Deliverables

Three working documents your team will actually use:

  1. Decision log — Who owns what decisions, how conflicts escalate, where authority lives. Updated weekly.
  2. Dependency map — A communication map showing which teams need to talk before which changes, and where handoffs break. Updated monthly.
  3. 30/60/90‑day plan with owners — Specific outcomes with names attached, reviewed biweekly.

Typical outcomes

  • Fewer “drive‑by” requests and urgent escalations.
  • Clearer responsibilities between data, product, and ops.
  • Teams that can ship changes without stepping on each other.

Engagement

  • 4–6 weeks (intensive), usually 2–3 days per week during the sprint.

Why this duration: Alignment needs interviews + workshops + a short adoption window to make new ownership stick.
