About this Event


What is a Design Sprint?

First imagined by Google Ventures, Design Sprints are a four-day design thinking methodology that enables teams to quickly launch products, overcome big challenges, and draw creative ideas to the surface.

It’s the most practical framework for applying design thinking at work.



How it works

With a small, cross-functional team and a clear schedule for the week, you’ll progress from a problem to a tested solution in only a few days.

  • On Monday, the team creates a map of the problem and defines the direction of the sprint.
  • On Tuesday, each individual creates solutions to the problem, and the team decides which sketches are the strongest.
  • On Thursday, the entire team builds a realistic prototype by working together and playing different roles.
  • And finally, on Friday, the team tests the prototype with five target customers and looks for reactions, comments and moments of truth.
