Bringing clarity to a complex project doesn’t have to take months.

In this session, Katalin Szégner introduces the Foundation Sprint, a structured two-day method developed by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky (authors of Sprint and Click) that helps teams get aligned on their customer, define the real problem, and make confident decisions about the best way forward—early, before costly missteps.

Here’s what makes the method especially valuable for experienced project professionals:
You don’t need to adopt a whole new system or wait until the next project starts. The tools from the Foundation Sprint can be used within your current project lifecycle—to regain focus, align stakeholders, or decide between competing paths when things get muddy.

You’ll walk away with proven facilitation techniques—like Note-and-Vote, Magic Lenses, and the Founding Hypothesis—that you can immediately plug into planning sessions, workshops, or decision points. No jargon. Just smart tools that enhance traditional and agile approaches alike.

Whether you're leading a product launch, strategic initiative, or internal transformation, this session will give you practical techniques you can apply the next day to reduce risk, improve clarity, and keep your project moving in the right direction.
