AJ&Smart's Remote Design Sprint

How do you run a Remote Design Sprint successfully? We’ve facilitated hundreds of Design Sprints over the years, and in this video we’ll share the processes, tools and techniques on how we run a complete Remote Design Sprint! If you’re looking to run and host Remote Design Sprints for your clients, business, or teams, this is not one to miss!

Why use a Design Sprint?

It’s no longer enough to have a “good quality product”, you need to have the right product.  Design Sprints are the fastest way to find out if a product is worth developing, if a feature is worth the effort, or if your value proposition is really valid. Why invest months of time, when all you need is a week?

What does a Design Sprint look like?

The Design Sprint is essentially a 4-day intense hackathon. On Day 1 you will define the challenges and scope of the week. Day 2 is about deciding which challenges to prototype. Day 3 is about rapidly building the high fidelity prototype, which is then tested with real users on Day 4.

What is the exact outcome?

The outcome of every Design Sprint Week is a high-fidelity interactive prototype, tested by real users, with clear insights on where to go next.

What happens after a Design Sprint?

Once you have a tangible representation of your product in your hands, and real user insights to guide your next steps, making decisions becomes easier. You have options upon completing a Design Sprint. For example, you could hold a second sprint to iterate and polish the idea, bringing the product even closer to production-ready, or you could use the prototype to sell your idea further and develop your concept.
