Introduction
Course overview
Design sprints compress months of discussion into a few days, moving teams from a big challenge to a tested prototype. They are widely used for product, service and digital innovation.
This Aractech course teaches how to plan and facilitate design sprints: framing the challenge, mapping, sketching solutions, deciding, prototyping and testing with users, then using results. Participants run a complete sprint simulation.
