Here are three questions to ask before you run a design sprint.
Question 1. Do you have a strategic question that needs an answer?
Design Sprints are a great way to explore strategic problems and opportunities, and step out of the planning cycle and test your insights, ideas and hunches to see if they carry weight with customers and users.
Question 2. Will your project need significant budget or time to realise?
Design Sprints enable you validate an idea or solution to your challenge before you commit money and resources, only to find out it’s a flop. After running a sprint, teams are able to see if it's worth pursuing or shifting direction.
Question 3: Do you need input from a variety of perspectives?
If you’re working on something that only requires knowledge from one area of the business, you probably don’t need a Design Sprint. But if you’re working on something that would benefit from input from marketing, customer support, the product or operations team, then a Design Sprint is your answer. With a sprint the executive sponsor only needs to be involved at the beginning and end.
It's about being half a shade braver and making human connections at work.
