Public:Product Design Sprint

From Docs | Smarter.Codes

A Product 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.[1]

Phases of a Design Sprint

Brainstorm

In Brainstorm phase the business opportunity, the audience, the competition & the value proposition are discovered; and metrics of success are defined.

In simple words, the problem (that's needed to be solved) will be picked in this phase.[2] Hence, Jake Knapp calls this phase as Map.[3]

Google alternatively divides this Phase in 2 phases as Understand[4] & Define[5].

Ideate

In Ideate phases broad range of Ideas are suggested by Design Sprint Team as a Solution for the Problem selected in the Brainstorm Phase.

These ideas are shared in the form of rough sketches, hence this phase is also known as Sketch.[6][3]

Decide

In Decide phase, the Design Sprint team finalizes the direction or concept to be prototyped, by selecting from the solutions suggested in Ideate phase.[7]
