Advisory sprint
Build-versus-Buy Advisory
A short advisory sprint that compares keeping a home-grown tool, buying a vendor product, or retiring the need entirely.
When to choose this
Use Build-versus-Buy Advisory when a single decision is blocking progress: renew a vendor, rewrite an aging script, or stop funding a tool nobody opens. We pressure-test total cost of ownership using your actual usage patterns, not brochure feature grids.
Deliverable
A concise decision memo with three options, constraints (compliance, language, on-call load), and a recommended path with exit criteria.
Next step
Request an advisory sprint and attach any vendor quotes or maintenance logs you already have.
