Design sprints, as popularized by Google Ventures (GV), are a time-boxed process where teams come together to solve complex problems and create new ideas within a short period - typically 5 days. The GV team found that constraints work better than brainstorming sessions, and that the best ideas often come from rushed conditions. A typical design sprint consists of five days, each with a specific focus: Day 1 (Understanding), where teams map out their problem and identify key stakeholders; Day 2 (Sketching), where they sketch out potential solutions; Day 3 (Storyboarding), where they create a step-by-step plan for the prototype; Day 4 (Prototyping), where they build a fake model of the final solution; and Day 5 (Testing), where they test their prototypes with real users to gather feedback. The process is designed to be flexible, and teams can adapt it to fit their needs and resources. By following this process, teams can create innovative solutions and make data-driven decisions in just five days.
