Optional DEVELOP runway sprint · Stage 4 · Q3 planning
Q3 Voice Planning
Use July, August and September to adjust after mid-year evidence, warm the audience, clarify fall positioning and prepare the campaign assets that Q4 may need. This sprint supports Modules 13 through 16.
Where this fits: choose this sprint when a Q3 runway is actually useful. The quarterly sprints are optional and non-sequential; use the quarter that matches the real campaign.
Quarter roles
July · Adjust
Review the first half of the year, recover focus and decide what must be prepared before fall.
August · Warm
Reintroduce important messages, answer questions and prepare support assets before stronger campaign activity.
September · Position
Clarify fall messaging, finalize useful Q4 support and avoid turning the month into generic seasonal content.
