To establish the team's working practices. Iteration Zero, also known as "inception" or "Seed Sprint," is the initial phase of an Agile development project. Its purpose is to establish the team's working practices and to set up the necessary infrastructure, tools, and processes that will be used throughout the project. During Iteration Zero, the team may also create a high-level design for the product, gather and prioritize requirements, and plan and prepare for the first sprint. The goal of Iteration Zero is to ensure that the team is fully prepared to begin delivering value to the customer as quickly as possible. By taking the time to establish good working practices and get organized at the start of the project, the team can avoid delays and roadblocks later on and ensure a smooth and efficient development process.
