What is Design Sprint?

Overview

The design sprint is an increasingly popular practice that condenses and accelerates the product design process. The Design Sprint is a 5-day (sometimes shorter) process for answering critical business questions with clients through design, prototyping, and testing ideas.

A design sprint is a time-constrained, five-stage process that uses design thinking with the aim of reducing risk when bringing a new product, service, or feature to market. The purpose of this process is to help teams clearly define goals, validate assumptions, and decide on a product roadmap before starting development.

The idea behind the Design Sprint is to build and test a prototype in just five days. You'll schedule for a week, and rapidly progress from problem to test the solution using a proven step-by-step checklist. A Design Sprint is a fast-forwarding technique so that one can see how customers react before he invests his time and budget in creating a new product, service, or marketing campaign.
