Course Curriculum
Day 1
3 Modules
Module 1: Understand
- In this 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.
Module 2: Define
- In this phase, the team evaluates everything they learned in the previous 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.
Module 3: Sketch & Decide
- 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.
- In the Decide phase, the team chooses the idea to prototype. Everyone shares their Solution Sketch, and the team agrees on one idea using decision-making exercises. This chosen idea will focus on solving the main challenge of the Design Sprint.
Day 2
3 Modules
Module 4: Understand
- In this phase, the team quickly builds a basic version of the concept to test. This is when key decisions are made about what the concept is and what to include. The goal is to create a realistic prototype as fast as possible to validate the idea.
Module 5: Define
- In this 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.
