Design Sprint Process

One week is a perfect time frame to design and test an idea with target users. You are welcome to join the sprint for as long (or as little) as you like!

Understand and 📍map the challenge in detail, 💡brainstorm effectively then sketch out possible solutions. Democratically ✅ decide on the ultimate solution, create high-fidelity 👩🏻‍💻 prototypes then 🧪 test the solution on real users. Finally, 🎤present back learnings and decide on the next iterations!
