A Design Sprint is an innovative five-day method that involves prototyping and customer testing of ideas to validate concepts and address major challenges. They’re a framework employed by organizations around the world, as well as multinational businesses. The five days are strategically planned. You map out what’s wrong on Monday. You doodle out possibilities on Tuesday. You choose which sketches work best on Wednesday. You’re going to develop a practical prototype on Thursday. You check that prototype with five of your target consumers on Friday.
