Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days

I've now bought 3 copies of this book. Even if you're not planning a design sprint and are interested in design thinking, product design, wicked problem-solving - this book is an extremely valuable resource. Practical tips and some fascinating anecdotes. Knapp and co know what they are doing and it's great that they shared it.

Sprint gives a practical and most structured way of brainstorming with 100% engagement.. i have tried it personally and it does work pretty well in real life

Since the book publication in 2016, the Design Sprint process has become a familiar approach to efficiently solving big business problems/validating hypothesis that involve high amounts of complexity/uncertainty/risk, and Jake gives the background as to how Design Sprints originated along with an in-depth account of how they went through the process to test some ideas at Google Ventures. Covering a variety of different experiments which they ran/problems they addressed made it a good read, including Slack (finding the best way to explain Slack to non-tech customers), Savioke Hotels (how hotel guests would react to a robot with personality, by experimenting through a robot delivering a toothbrush to a guests room), Flatiron Health (dealing with the complexities of getting cancer patients into clinical trials), and Blue Bottle Coffee (getting their value proposition clear on a new digital experience). The book is practical, so if you’re new to Design Sprints, you’ll find it easy to create a plan which you can apply across your product as well as understand the key ingredients needed, so whilst tools have evolved to make it easier more than ever to validate a hypothesis in a remote world for digital products using the likes of Figma, Miro, UserTesting… the fundamentals haven’t changed in that you need to: 1. Collaborate with people throughout the sprint 2. Have a decision maker (normally Product Manager) 3. Identify a high priority problem to solve 4. Ideate and create prototype/s 5. Get feedback from potential customers “When you get into a regular rhythm of listening to customers, it can remind you why you’re working so hard in the first place.”

If you're in UI/UX this book is a must read. I am a senior UI designer and I run creative workshops at my job, and this book helped me implement some changes in order to be a more effective facilitator. These guys have put in the work in fine tuning the sprint, and have provided every bit of detail throughout the whole book so that you can get a head start. I'd recommend this to anyone who runs creative workshops
