Workflow Foundation To Design

Run the end-to-end Foundation Sprint + Design Sprint workflow with narrative handoff

Published by @product-on-purpose·from product-on-purpose/pm-skills·0 agent reads / 30d·0 saves·

Run the end-to-end arc that pairs a Foundation Sprint (2 days of strategic alignment) with a Design Sprint (5 days of prototype validation) as one connected 7-8 day flow.

There is no bridge skill: canonical Knapp/Zeratsky methodology has no formal handoff move between the two sprints, and pm-skills does not invent one. The Founding Hypothesis from the Foundation Sprint is consumed directly as input context by the Design Sprint readiness and brief steps; the handoff is narrative only.

Workflow Steps

Step 1: Foundation Sprint (Days 1-2)

Run the full Foundation Sprint using the /workflow-foundation-sprint command (or follow skills/tool-foundation-sprint-readiness/SKILL.md through skills/tool-foundation-sprint-founding-hypothesis/SKILL.md in sequence). Output: a canonical Founding Hypothesis sentence plus an assumption scorecard.

Step 2: Narrative handoff

Carry the Founding Hypothesis and its highest-risk assumptions forward as the framing context for the Design Sprint. No intermediate artifact is required: the riskiest assumption on the scorecard typically becomes the Design Sprint's challenge and sprint questions. See docs/guides/using-foundation-sprint.md and docs/guides/using-design-sprint.md for the handoff narrative.

Step 3: Design Sprint (Days 3-8)

Run the full Design Sprint using the /workflow-design-sprint command (or follow skills/tool-design-sprint-readiness/SKILL.md through skills/tool-design-sprint-test-and-score/SKILL.md in sequence), seeding the readiness and brief steps with the Founding Hypothesis from Step 1. Output: the Decider's build / iterate / pivot / stop call grounded in five customer interviews.

Output

A strategic frame (Founding Hypothesis) validated or invalidated end-to-end by a tested prototype and a Decider's call, in one connected arc.
