Design Sprints
Solve any problem as a team in less than a week
What is this?
The Design Sprint in an effective method to solve any problem, as a team in a very short timeframe. It provides a structure and workflow to spark discussions with a problem solving mindset.
In order to achieve success, our process always starts with a design sprint workshop that can go from 3 to 5 days and is usually onsite – don’t worry, we’ll move our squad to wherever you are in the world.
How we do it
This stage is crucial as it focuses on discovery, we’re able to raise and address problems and come up with actual solutions, whilst giving the team the opportunity to prototype, validate and come up with a proper action plan before the end of the first week of the engagement. The following weeks are all about execution!
This has allowed us to shorten projects that might usually be expected to take 6 months, down to just 2 or 3 weeks. Some clients have said it “has blown their minds” 🙂
Now, given our current circumstances with COVID-19, we’ve adjusted our approach in order to run these workshops remotely.
