Description of the article « Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days »
Big decisions often drag on for months. Sprint describes a way to make progress in five days: understand the problem, sketch solutions, decide, build a realistic prototype and test it with real customers.
What you'll learn
Jake Knapp, John Zeratsky and Braden Kowitz developed the design sprint at Google Ventures, where they ran it with startups. The book gives you the schedule day by day: mapping the problem on Monday, sketching on Tuesday, deciding on Wednesday, prototyping on Thursday and testing with five customers on Friday. It also covers who should take part, what the room needs and how to keep the team on track.
Who it's for
It suits product teams, designers and founders facing a high-stakes question, such as a new product, feature or direction, who want evidence before committing.
A full sprint needs a team's time for five days, which isn't always possible. Many teams adapt the steps into shorter formats once they've run the original.
