Launching a new digital product is an exciting time for any company. The team is energized about an idea and is eager to take a product to market that will meet a significant customer need. But many businesses hit a roadblock when they begin to take the first actionable steps toward launching: what features should the product’s first version include? What should the product look like? Should we go mobile first? What data should we collect? These questions paralyze teams, costing precious time and money. 10Pearls’ Design Sprint<\/a> eliminates the stumbling blocks and navigates your journey \u2013 from new product discovery to product launch. At the end of the session, your team will clearly understand your product, its interface, and the must-have features.<\/p>

WHAT ARE DESIGN SPRINTS?<\/h3>

Design Sprints, also known as Design Sessions, may seem like a fancy buzzword for a brainstorming session, but it is much more nuanced. It goes beyond gathering a bunch of UX<\/a> creatives in a conference room and waiting for magic; Design Sprint brings together stakeholders from across the organization into a structured workshop that follows a proven process:<\/p>

  1. Illuminate<\/strong> – Participants are assigned a problem\/case study and necessary guidelines.<\/li>
  2. Sketch<\/strong> – Participants quickly think through and draft solutions to the problem within a quick time frame.<\/li>

  4. Critique<\/strong> – Participants provide constructive criticism to determine a solution’s potential pain point and inspire further idea generation.<\/li>
  5. Iterate<\/strong> – Repeat the last three steps with slight changes in approach (larger teams, smaller teams, different pairings, etc.).<\/li><\/ol>

    A Design Sprint allows participants to focus on a single problem and visualize multiple solutions. The workshop should be conducted in a highly interactive, fast-paced team setting \u2013 hectic, noisy, and fun.<\/p>

    GOALS OF DESIGN SPRINT<\/h3>

    Overall, Design Sprint’s objective is to aggregate as many ideas as possible, but each will have specific goals based on the business case. Here are some possibilities:<\/p>
