Design Sprint in a Day

Step 1: Map

  1. 1.

    What's your role in today's sprint?

    • Decider
    • Facilitator
    • Team member
  2. 2.

    Long-term goal: imagine it's two years from now and this project was a big success. What happened? Be optimistic.

  3. 3.

    Sprint questions: what could stop us from getting there? Turn each worry into a question that starts with "Can we…?", for example "Can we get people to trust us with their data?"

  4. 4.

    Map: list the main steps a customer takes, from first hearing about us to reaching the goal. One step per line.

  5. 5.

    How might we…? Write each opportunity you see as a note starting with "How might we", for example "How might we show the price before sign-up?"

  6. 6.

    Target: which customer, and which step on the map, should this sprint focus on?

Step 2: Sketch

  1. 1.

    Lightning demos: name a product (any industry) that solves a similar problem well, and the one idea worth borrowing from it.

  2. 2.

    Solution sketch: on one sheet, draw three panels showing what the customer sees and does, step by step. It should explain itself without you there. Upload a photo.

  3. 3.

    Give your solution sketch a short, catchy title.

Step 3: Decide

  1. 1.

    Are you the Decider for this sprint?

    • Yes
    • No
  2. 2.

    Heat map and straw poll: tap to drop a dot on every part of a sketch you like, add a note where something is unclear, then pick the one sketch you'd prototype.

  3. 3.

    Decider only: pick the sketch the team will build on next. Everyone else, skip this one.

  4. 4.

    What should we build or test first, and what's the very next step?
