Design Sprints Training
Course Description: This Design Sprints training is a comprehensive online workshop led by an experienced expert. The Design Sprint, proposed by Jake Knapp (Sr. UX Designer at Google and Google Ventures VC), condenses Human-Centered Design principles into an intensive one-week format. From setting clear objectives to determining user insights, sketching visionary concepts, prioritizing ideas, and conducting effective user testing, this course offers an accelerated pathway to enhanced product decision-making. Design springs have many benefits:
- Rapid Iteration: D.Sprints facilitate quick iteration by condensing the entire process into just one week. This allows teams to test multiple ideas in a short span.
- User-centered solutions: By involving users in the testing phase, D.Sprints ensures that the final product addresses real user needs and pain points.
- Reduced risk: D.Sprints allow teams to identify potential pitfalls and challenges early in the process, reducing the risk of investing time and resources in the wrong direction.
- Collaboration: The cross-functional nature of D.Sprints encourages collaboration among team members who bring different skill sets and perspectives to the table.
Course Highlights:
- Design Sprint modified: Learn to facilitate Design Sprints to maximize team collaboration. You will learn how to bring user research to a Design Sprint (missing from the original technique). Also, see Insight Sprints training.
- Facilitating engaging online Sprint Workshops: Learn practical techniques for seamless online facilitation, fostering collaboration, and optimizing participant contributions.
- Engagement techniques for active participation: Learn to sustain high engagement levels throughout Sprint workshops. Explore inventive approaches to capture participants’ attention, encourage active involvement, and maintain unwavering enthusiasm.
Course Format: The course follows the Sprint method workshop. A toolkit and activities lead to a transformed product by the end of the workshop.
