5 DAYS SPRINT

DESIGN SPRINT IS FOR YOU IF...
I have a product idea, but I don’t know how
to get started.
“
”
I need to quickly validate a
product idea.
“
”
I need to define the features users want
the most.
“
”
I need to quickly improve an existing
product.
“
”
I need to get everyone on the team aligned about the product.
“
”
DESIGN SPRINT IS NOT FOR YOU IF...
My product is already well defined.
“
”
I need significant research and user data to validate the product.
“
”
I don’t need validation, I just need to build the
product.
“
”
I don’t believe in MVP, or anything about “iterative design”.
“
”
I have all the time and money to fail.

HOW:
1. Draw two columns on whiteboard - “Goals” & “Anti-Goals”
2. Start with “Goals”, and ask the team to brainstorm a goal of the project. The goal
should be high level objective, not feature.
3. Discuss each goal, refine wording and agree. If not, consider moving it to anti-goals
column
4. List 5- 10 goals and then vote and prioritize for the top 3 goals. Underline and
highlight the #1 goal.

references for future exercises.

What do they need to do for this project to be successful? Under the “Do” column
