Why design sprints are awesome
11 likes1,527 views
A design sprint is when a group of people spend a short time focused on finding a solution. There are two main types: a high-level design sprint which produces conceptual sketches, and a product design sprint which produces high-fidelity mocks and prototypes. A product design sprint follows an agenda that first sets context through understanding the challenge, then moves to sketching, ideation, and design. It concludes with a review of the designs created. The process utilizes gamestorming techniques like storyboarding and the "6-8-5" method to generate many ideas which are then voted on and developed into prototypes to solve the challenge.

It helps group focus their ideas.
- 25. 6-8-5’s + discussion + more voting @alisonboncha #UXAustralia Use reward stickers!
- 26. Design time, then review @alisonboncha #UXAustralia - have everyone choose one idea from the 6-8-5 session - spend one hour with their fav design tool and create something high fidelity. - Photoshop, Sketch, Keynote, Pop, ect...could even use something like Google slides! whatever is fastest! Encourage Product Managers and Engineers to participate if they’re up to it! - Have everyone explain their mocks at the end of the hour (5 min each). Have stakeholder present to give feedback.
