In the Scrum agile methodology software developmemt teams break their work into goals that can be completed within short time-boxed iterations called sprints. Sprint1 assists partners in building an MVP demo for their use case in just a few days: the first sprint, which will serve as the basis for the subsequent development of a marketable solution.

Each Sprint1 event focuses on an industry, a line of business or a business theme. It provides technical and thematic guidance to generally 8 to 15 partners, carefully selected on the basis of curated use cases submitted by them. A multi-disciplinary virtual team of SAP experts coaches each partner team individually according to their solution and needs.

Sprint1 partners are not competing against each other but fueled by the same objective to demonstrate their partner solution willingness and readiness to a panel of executives. The demos on the last day of the intensive prototyping week are individual and serve as a basis for discussing the next steps, including any need for further technical support and advice on bringing the app to market.
