How many discussions does it take to arrive at the right solution? Now there’s a surefire way to get the answers you need: the Design Sprint, created at Google by Jake Knapp.
In a Design Sprint, you take a small team, clear your schedules for a week, and rapidly progress from problem, to prototype, to tested solution using the step-by-step, five-day process in this book. It’s like looking into the future to see how customers will respond to your new product, service, or campaign—before you invest all the time and expense of creating it.

It can replace the old office defaults with a smarter, more respectful, and more effective way of solving problems that brings out the best contributions of everyone on the team—and helps you spend your time on work that really matters.

The book outlines the how's and why's of running through a design sprint. Interesting to read how other companies solved their big ask questions with this process in order to bring a tested idea through the rest of the "go build" process. Looking forward to bring this into our team's process.

Ofrece y explica una dinámica para probar ideas con usuarios ideales. Así se evitan supuestos y "yo creo que así serviría". Nada como la retroalimentación de los usuarios de un sistema.
