In today's fast-paced business environment, the ability to rapidly innovate and solve problems is more crucial than ever. A powerful method to achieve this is by running a 5-day Design Sprint. A Design Sprint is a structured, time-constrained process that helps teams quickly prototype and test ideas.
See here below a step-by-step guide on how your organization can run its own 5-day Design Sprint.

Before the sprint starts, you need to:
๐ฅ Assemble the Team:
Bring together a cross-functional team of 5-7 people, including a facilitator, decision-maker, and experts, relevant to the challenge.
๐ฏ Define the Sprint Goal:
Identify a clear, actionable sprint goal / challenge.

๐ค Interview Experts: Bring in subject matter experts to share insights about the problem space.
๐ Gather Insights: Collect and synthesize information from the expert interviews to build a comprehensive understanding of the challenge.
๐ Map the User Journey: Create a map of the user journey, identifying key steps and pain points. This visual representation will guide your focus for the rest of the sprint.
๐๐๐ฒ 2: ๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐
๐ป Inspiring examples: Every team member looks individually for inspiring examples on how to solve the sprint challenge. Afterwards everyone presents 3 inspiring examples.
โ๐ป Sketch Solutions: Using the 4-step-sketch, each individual will create a finalized solution sketch that represents the solution to the sprint challenge.
๐๐๐ฒ 3: ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐
๐๏ธ Pitches: Every individual presents their solution sketch to the rest of the team.
๐Dot voting:
Select the most promising ideas / elements from each sketch.ย
Dot voting is a tool to identify the strongest ideas, that clearly show which elements should be included in the prototype.
๐ผ๏ธ Storyboarding:
Use the dot-voted elements to create a clear step by step flow of the final solution to be prototyped.
๐๐๐ฒ 4: ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐จ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฉ๐
๐ ๏ธ Time to build a realistic prototype that can be tested with users!
Divide tasks among team members, such as building the prototype, creating the interface, and preparing the testing scenarios.
๐๐๐ฒ 5: ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ
๐ฃ๏ธ Recruit 5 interviewees that match your target audience.ย
Conduct one-on-one interviews to gather qualitative feedback.
๐ Analyze Results: Review the feedback and identify patterns. Discuss what worked, what didnโt, and the insights gained. Afterwards the prototype / new business proposition can be updated with the gathered feedback.ย
