Where proposed feature areas would benefit from a deeper dive to understand the value, we recommended the Design Sprint as an option.

We showed how these practices drive the initial Product Backlog prioritized by value and how this produces a living, breathing artifact that will be subject to continuous Product Backlog Refinement as we gather more learning, feedback, and metrics for our delivery...
