This presentation is based on the book Design Sprint: A Practical Guidebook for Creating Great Digital Products by Richard Banfield, C. Todd Lombardo, Trace Wax

The Design Sprint is a flexible framework for starting new product design and development work.

The Design Sprint is the first, and for some projects the most significant, phase of a design thinking process. It gets the entire product design and development team on the same page, reduces the risk of downstream mistakes, and generates vision-lead goals for the team to measure their success.

In this webcast, you’ll learn both why and how Design Sprints work and how you can use Design Sprints to enhance your own design process.

• Get an eye-opening approach to the product design process that results in better, faster outcomes
• Learn the design sprint process from start to finish, including essential tools, tips, and best practices
• Learn about successful examples of design sprints from across the industry
