Discovery, die mit einem Backlog endet, nicht mit Folien

Strukturierte Workshops, Opportunity-Scoring und priorisiertes Backlog—damit das nächste Quartal liefert, statt Folien.

The problem

Long lists, no backlog, no next move

  • Lists without prioritization

    Workshops produce 50+ ideas on a wall and 200 in a spreadsheet. Nothing is scored, nothing is sequenced, and nothing leaves the room as a decision.

  • ROI claims without baselines

    Every use case is justified by an aspirational number. Nobody can say what 'today' looks like, so 'after' can't be measured—or defended later.

  • No ownership

    Ideas float between business, data and IT with no named owner, no exit criteria and no commitment. By the next steering committee, momentum is gone.

  • Ideas die between workshop and execution

    The hand-off from discovery to delivery breaks: governance, data access and tooling were never scoped, so even good ideas stall at the first technical gate.

So funktioniert es

From workshop wall to a sequenced backlog

Schritt 1

Discover

Structured cross-functional workshops surface candidate use cases tied to business priorities, current pain, and where AI actually moves the needle.

Schritt 2

Score & baseline

Each opportunity is scored on value and feasibility, with a baseline metric defined and a named owner—so success is measurable, not anecdotal.

Schritt 3

Sequence & hand over

Prioritized backlog with governance gates, dependencies and a clear next move—so delivery can pick up the next quarter without re-litigating the choice.

Workshop format adapts to the size of your portfolio and the maturity of the teams involved.

Discovery, die mit einem Backlog endet, nicht mit Folien

Leistungsumfang

Everything you need to endwith a real backlog

Workshop kit, scoring model, baselines and governance gates—so discovery produces a backlog with owners, not another set of slides.

Opportunity workshop kit

Pre-built agendas, canvases and facilitator scripts to run productive cross-functional discovery without reinventing the format.

Value & feasibility scoring

Transparent model to score each opportunity on impact, feasibility, time-to-evidence and risk—comparable across the portfolio.

Baseline definition

Each opportunity carries a current-state baseline metric so future ROI claims can be measured, not asserted.

Owner mapping

Named business, data and IT owners per opportunity—so handover into delivery doesn't lose the thread.

Sequenced backlog

Prioritized backlog with dependencies, ready for the next planning cycle and aligned to capacity.

Governance gate template

Lightweight gate template (data, risk, model lifecycle) so opportunities enter delivery already AI-Act-aware.

Ergebnisse

What changes when discovery actually ships

Results vary by context, data maturity, and scope. We scope honestly before we promise precisely.

1

shared, scored backlog instead of competing wishlists

Orientative—single artifact replaces parallel decks.

100%

of top opportunities with a named owner and baseline metric

Orientative—per engagement scope.

Ready

for the next planning cycle, with governance gates pre-mapped

So arbeiten wir

From kickoff to a backlog your delivery teams can pick up

Frame

Week 1

Agree scope, business priorities, the question discovery must answer, and the participants needed across business, data and IT.

Workshop

Week 2–3

Run structured discovery workshops, capture candidate use cases, and align on evaluation criteria.

Score & baseline

Week 4

Score opportunities, define baselines, map owners and stress-test against constraints.

Sequence & hand over

Week 5

Finalize sequenced backlog, governance gates and the first delivery wave—ready for planning intake.

Timelines vary by portfolio breadth, number of business areas, and decision-making cadence.

No commitment. We start with a scoped session to align on priorities, participants and the decisions discovery must produce.
