Core takeaway

Thirty days is enough to ship a narrow workflow if the team chooses the right scope.

The first month should feel focused.

AI deployment does not need to start with a huge transformation program. A useful first month maps one workflow, builds a controlled version, tests with real users, and decides what to improve next.

01

Week one: map the work

The first week is about understanding how the work really happens, including shortcuts, exceptions, and the handoffs people rely on.

02

Weeks two and three: build and test

The prototype should use real inputs but stay small enough for quick feedback. The goal is trust, not theatre.

Tool connections
Internal testing
Exception review

03

Week four: launch the habit

The last week turns the system into a team habit. That means training, measurement, and a short improvement backlog.

Team onboarding
SOP update
Usage check
Next sprint backlog

Questions to ask before the first sprint

Can this workflow be tested with one team?
What should improve by day 30?
Who decides whether the workflow is ready?

Next step

Use the first month to ship, not just plan.

Fabren's deployment sprint is built around one workflow, one owner, and one measurable result.
