Design Sprints

What’s a Design Sprint?

The Design Sprint is a proven format for solving problems through designing, prototyping, and testing ideas with users. Design Sprints quickly align teams under a shared vision with clearly defined goals and deliverables. Ultimately, it is a tool for developing a hypothesis, prototyping an idea, and testing it rapidly with as little investment as possible in as real an environment as possible. The Design Sprint is an ideal candidate for organizations which want to implement a human-centered approach to problem-solving and innovation.
