How to run a design sprint without a panic attack
summary
Design sprints compress the five phases of design thinking into a one- to one-and-a-half-week plan with concrete prep: define a clear deliverable, recruit 7–15 cross‑functional people, assign a sprint lead and facilitator, book an off‑site, and produce a five‑minute agenda. Run ideation with the ideation burger (How‑might‑we → markers and post‑its → storyboarding), build a functional, representational prototype, and validate with diverse users. Examples: Facebook’s up/downvote feature moved from a 2017 sprint through six iterations to f8 2018; a helium balloons prototype for long‑backed dogs fails (dogs scared), showing quick validation avoids wasted work.
