Design Sprint

The Design Sprint is a 4-day process for rapidly solving big challenges, creating new products, or improving existing ones. It compresses potential months of work into one week.

Why use a Design Sprint?

**TEST AN IDEA
**Understand your strategic decision with real insights from real users.

**BUILD MOMENTUM
**It’s less important to be right than it is to move in the right direction.

**RAPIDLY PROTOTYPE
**Design and test two prototypes in under a month to validate your assumptions.

**GET REAL USER FEEDBACK
**Receive immediate feedback from 5 - 10 real users to know what works and what doesn't.

**UNDERSTAND PAIN POINTS
**Knowing your target audience is important in creating a quality product.

**REDUCE TIME TO MARKET
**Utilizing our month-long process will save you countless man hours.

What does a Design Sprint look like?

**Day 1
**• Define the challenge
• Find clarity and alignment within your team
• Produce a large quantity of solutions in a structured process

**Day 2
**• Curate and vote on best solutions in a democratized fashion
• Define the prototype with a detailed storyboard

**Day 3
**• Design and build a clickable prototype
• Confirm the scheduling of user tests with your target audience for the following day

**Day 4
**• Test the prototype with targeted users
• Use the feedback from testing to inform your iteration

What is the exact outcome?

The outcome of every Design Sprint week is a high-fidelity interactive prototype, tested by real users, and with clear insights on where to go next.

This is not a “wireframe” or a “paper prototype”, it looks and feels like a real product.

What happens after?

**ITERATION SPRINT
**Continue building, refining, and aligning your product with an additional week of iteration.

**USE TO RAISE MONEY
**Impress investors with a clickable prototype, real insights, and a tangible roadmap ahead.

**DEVELOPMENT READY
**Have full access to the Figma design file to easily export and reference for your development team.
