Build + Test a product with Design Sprints
Design Sprints
A design sprint is the Google Venture method to build a product and test it with customers in only five days using a formula of innovation + business strategy + design thinking + behaviour science.
For startups or corporate teams, an external facilitator (me!) will help move things along, keep troops energised, and foster teamwork, creativity and entrepreneurship within your organisation.
Sprints are the perfect way to test ideas on your target market with immediate results before making an expensive commitment to development
Sprints are also brilliant to solve a killer problem to your business in a short amount of time.
Sprints limit risks to your company, and if an idea isn’t working, you will pivot to find a better solution.
Design Sprint Process
Many variations of the original sprint process are possible. For me, a 4-day sprint is the most effective format giving time to understand and map the challenge in detail, ideate creatively, sketch and decide on solutions, train the teams on new processes, create high-fidelity prototypes and test the solution on real users.
Next Step
Once you’ve tested your prototype, you can update your solution based on the lessons learned during a shorter sprint session and test the iterated version again (with new test users). Once validated you’ll be ready to produce the development backlog to build your MVP or feature update.
