In this hands-on bootcamp you will learn and practise the process and tools of the Design Sprint framework.

1. About Design Sprints

The Design Sprint is a 4-5 day process originally designed by Google to answer business critic questions faster, more reliable and with more fun.

It was first built to speed up product or service development. After 4 days there will not only be a detailed briefing to build the product but also real customer feedback on what is important.

The Design Sprint can not only be used to develop products or services. Other big questions like strategy or processual can be answered with its working principles as well.

It is a hands-on workshop where everyone’s ideas are built into a final solution without the biases and group dynamics that usually hold back businesses to succeed when it comes to find user centric solutions.

2. What you will learn

At the end of this training you will:

• know for what topics a Design Sprint will help you solve your challenge
• know the process steps and tools used
• be able to explain the methods and advantages to others
• feel confident to run a first Design Sprint on your own
• know about the evolvement from version 1 (book) to 2.0 (AJ) to 3.o by Design Sprint Academy and how we derive our Sprints from the 3.0 process adding ideation and some of our own tweaks.

To learn more about facilitation skills, we run specific 1d facilitation trainings to make you a better Sprint facilitator. (DS Masterclass certification).
