Design sprint: a practical guidebook for building great digital products

With more than 500 new apps entering the market every day, what does it take to build a successful digital product? The reader can greatly reduce their risk of failure with design sprints, a process that enables their team to prototype and test a digital product idea within a week.

This practical guide shows the reader exactly what a design sprint involves and how they can incorporate the process into their organization. Design sprints not only let the reader test digital product ideas before they pour too many resources into a project, they also help everyone get on board-whether they're team members, decision makers, or potential users. The reader will know within days whether a particular product idea is worth pursuing.

Design sprints enable the reader to:

  • Clarify the problem at hand, and identify the needs of potential users
  • Explore solutions through brainstorming and sketching exercises
  • Distill ideas into one or two solutions that can be tested 
  • Prototype a solution and bring it to life
  • Test the prototype with people who would use it.
