Design Sprint 101: Design Better User Experiences & Products … Faster

This class is a 3-hour workshop running from 6p-9p.

In this interactive, 3-hour introduction to Design Sprints, we’ll illustrate the process developed by Google Ventures and popularized in Jake Knapp's book, Sprint, by guiding you through ideating, prototyping and testing a new digital product.

Led by Senior UX/UI Creative Strategist, Andrea Cannistra, you’ll learn practical strategies to help you become a more effective problem solver and you’ll leave with an understanding of how to use the 5-day Design Sprint process to solve complex businesses and design challenges.

TOPICS COVERED:

• How and when to conduct a Design Sprint
• How to define and prioritize challenges and generate stakeholder alignment
• How to understand your customers’ needs and pain points and map their interaction journeys
• Proven approaches to ideation that are more effective than unstructured group brainstorming
• Prototyping, sketching and testing potential solutions with real users for data driven decision making

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This workshop is ideal for anyone trying to create better user experiences or build better digital products including product leaders, designers and development leads

All materials will be supplied. Notebook is suggested for notes, no laptop needed.
