Iteration Zero Planning Form

Streamline Your Iteration Zero with a Professional Planning Form

Starting a new project or product? Iteration zero is your foundation—the crucial pre-sprint phase where development teams establish technical infrastructure, tooling, and architectural decisions that will support every sprint to come.

Our Iteration Zero Planning Form helps software development teams, product managers, and engineering leaders capture all the essential setup requirements in one structured workflow. Instead of scattered emails, Slack threads, and meeting notes, you get a single source of truth for your project's technical foundation.

Perfect for Development Teams and Engineering Managers

Whether you're a startup CTO setting up your first production environment, an agency managing multiple client projects, or an enterprise team launching a new product line, this form template ensures nothing falls through the cracks during iteration zero. Capture decisions about infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, development environments, monitoring, security, and architectural patterns—all before your first sprint begins.

From Planning to Action with Paperform + Stepper

This form doesn't just collect information—it kicks off your project the right way. Use Stepper to automatically create tickets in Jira or Linear, provision access in GitHub or GitLab, notify team members in Slack, and update project documentation in Confluence or Notion. Every submission becomes a structured project kickoff that routes tasks to the right people and keeps your iteration zero on track.

Built for Agile Teams Who Move Fast

With conditional logic that adapts to your technology stack and deployment model (cloud, on-premise, or hybrid), this template fits your specific needs. The clean, professional layout keeps stakeholders aligned while the structured sections ensure technical leads cover infrastructure, security, testing, and deployment concerns before code hits production.

Trusted by development teams worldwide, Paperform makes it easy to standardize your iteration zero process, maintain consistency across projects, and get from planning to first sprint faster.
