What is a Design Sprint?

• A design sprint is a time-constrained, five-phase process that uses design thinking with the aim of reducing the risk when bringing a new product, service or a feature to the market (from Wikipedia).

What are the 5 phases of a Design Sprint?

1. Understand (focus on the customer experience by creating a Customer Journey Map, and verify the problem is well defined)
2. Sketch / Diverge (think of possible solutions individually)
3. Decide (vote to decide collectively on the solution which is most likely to succeed)
4. Prototype (prepare a Prototype of the solution)
5. Validate / Test (check the prototype with real users and get their feedback)
