WHY SPRINTS AND
WHY THEY’RE CONTROLLED
Execution Works Best When It’s Focused
Implementation fails when everything is attempted at once.
Adair Consulting uses time-boxed, roadmap-aligned sprints to ensure execution stays intentional, manageable, and measurable.
Each sprint:
-
Has a defined scope
-
Follows roadmap priorities
-
Produces visible outcomes
-
Protects operational stability
No open-ended work. No reactive task lists. Just focused progress.

WHAT A ROADMAP SPRINT IS
What to Expect From an Implementation Sprint
A Roadmap Sprint is a 4–8 week, fixed-scope engagement designed to implement specific initiatives from The Adair Digital Transformation Roadmap™.
Sprints are:
-
Hands-on
-
Outcome-driven
-
Clearly scoped
-
Fully aligned to the roadmap
Every sprint starts with clarity and ends with documented results.
TYPICAL SPRINT FOCUS AREAS
Each sprint is customized, but commonly includes:
-
Workflow redesign and simplification
-
Tool consolidation or cleanup
-
Secure account and access configuration
-
Process documentation and SOP creation
-
Automation of high-value manual tasks
-
Staff training and adoption support
We implement what creates the most value first not everything at once.

WHAT SPRINTS ARE NOT
To maintain quality and control, sprints are not:
-
Break/fix IT support
-
Unlimited task lists
-
Emergency response coverage
-
Open-ended implementation
-
Tool resale or vendor commissions
Sprints are strategic execution, not reactive support.
Pricing Structure
Implementation Sprint Investment
Roadmap Implementation Sprints
Pricing is based on:
-
Scope and complexity
-
Number of systems or workflows involved
-
Level of hands-on execution required
All sprints are fixed-price and time-boxed.

ROADMAP REQUIRED
All implementation sprints require a completed Adair Consulting Digital Transformation Roadmap.
​
This ensures:
-
Clear priorities
-
Reduced execution risk
-
Efficient use of resources
-
Alignment with leadership goals
Sprints are never sold without a roadmap.
AFTER THE SPRINT
At the end of each sprint, organizations typically choose to:
-
Run an additional roadmap-aligned sprint
-
Transition to strategic advisory support
-
Pause with a clear, documented next plan
There is no obligation to continue beyond each sprint.
