The key components of a
successful Design Sprint.
NUMBER 1
Identify the challenge to
pick a problem worth
solving.
“Our goal is to ___ in order
to ___ for ___”
LONG-TERM GOAL
SPRINT QUESTIONS
Blockers
Threats
Challenges
Sprint questions

NUMBER 2
Assemble the right team.
HOW MIGHT WE
Your team will have a great
understanding of what you
are trying to achieve and
the constraints.
SKETCHING
Everyone will buy-in to the
creative process and want
to influence the final
outcome.
For the naysayers - Trust the process!
NUMBER 3
Identify your target
customer(s).
PERSONAS
“When ___ I want to ___
so I can ___”
Situation Motivation
Expected outcome
TESTING
Refer to your personas to
select your testing
subjects.
TO SPRINT, OR NOT TO?
To initially define
your offering.
Create a
shared vision.
Used to
unstick

your product
process.
You already have an
idea of the solution.
No plan to support
outcomes.
You haven’t
got buy-in
from decision
makers.
TAKEAWAYS
• Design Sprints enable you to tackle a big
problem and test new ideas.
• They are a great method for getting team
alignment and clarity of vision.
• Prepare in advance to ensure a successful
Design Sprint.
• Save time at the end for a Retro and to
discuss next steps.
Trust the process!
Ask yourself -
What is at stake
by not doing a
Design Sprint?
