Video description
More than 500 new apps enter the market every day, making it that much harder for your design team to build a successful digital product. This video course shows you how to reduce your risk of failure by using design sprints, a unique process that enables your team to prototype and test a digital product idea within a week.
You’ll discover that you don’t need to spend lots of time and money on a minimal product to validate an idea when a simple prototype will help you gain just as much information and insight. This video workshop takes you through the five steps involved in a sprint:
- Clarify the problem at hand, and identify the needs of potential users
- Explore solutions through brainstorming and sketching exercises
- Distill your ideas into one or two solutions that you can test
- Prototype your solution and bring it to life
- Test the prototype the solution with people who would use it
Get up to speed with design sprints and learn how you can incorporate the process into your organization.
