What is Google Design Sprint?
A Design Sprint is a framework for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with users. Sprints are a shortcut that allows teams to learn quickly without having to build and launch. They compress months of time into 3-5 days. The Google Design Sprint framework was created in 2010 by Google Ventures and made popular by the book “Sprint, How To Solve Big Problems And Test New Ideas In Just Five Days (2016, Jake Knapp)”

Program Schedule
- Day 1-Welcome & Introductions
In the Understand phase, you will create a shared knowledge base across all participants. Using the Lightning Talk method, knowledge experts across the business are invited to articulate the problem space from business, user, competitor, and technological angles.
- Day 2-Define
In the Define phase, the team evaluates everything they learned in the Understand phase to establish focus. This is done by defining specific context and desired outcomes of potential solutions. The phase concludes by choosing a specific focus for your Sprint, as well as goals, success metrics, and signals.
- Day 3-Sketch
In the Sketch phase, the Design Sprint team generates and shares a broad range of ideas as individuals. You will start by looking for inspiration, such as solutions in alternative spaces. Then, each Design Sprint participant will individually generate ideas for consideration.
- Day 4-Decide
In the Decide phase, the Design Sprint team finalizes the direction or concept to be prototyped. Each participant will share their Solution Sketch, and the team will find consensus on a single idea through decision-making exercises. The final direction will aim to address the Design Sprint focus.
- Day 5-Prototype
In the Prototype phase, the Design Sprint team will work together to create a prototype of your concept. This is when many decisions are made around what exactly the concept is and includes. You will aim to create a prototype that is just real enough to validate, and you will do it really fast!
- Day 6-Validate
In the Validate phase, the Design Sprint team will put your concept in front of users - this is your moment of truth! You will gather feedback from users who interact with your prototype, and if relevant, you will conduct stakeholder and technical feasibility reviews. You’ll end your Sprint with a validated concept– or an invalidated concept to improve on.
