Solving real-world problems using a (mini) Design Sprint

About: Caizin Commune and Equal Experts invite the product community in Pune for a gripping workshop on Design Sprints.

Design Sprints are a methodology that can be effective for solving certain types of problems, particularly in the context of product design and development. They involve a process of rapid prototyping and user testing to quickly validate ideas and iterate on solutions, before spending a lot of time and money. Amongst various practices and tools which you can use to solve a problem, a Design Sprint exploits the spatial memory of its participants, stakeholders who are a part of the solution & its implementation. Integrating end user experience as a part of solutioning, elevates the probability of its success, especially when you have a limited number of trials and limited resources.

Who should attend: Inviting product managers, designers & architects to participate in a hands-on, fun, collaborative workshop that emulates a design sprint. Come, be a part of an enacted Design Sprint that takes some of the familiar 'worldly' problems as a reference and attempts to arrive at their plausible solutions. Learn better by practice, participation, collaboration & validation, working closely with peers from the product community.

Who may skip the workshop: Suggest taking a pragmatic call for yourself as per your experience. This workshop adds most value to professionals with 10+ years of experience in building and releasing products and having autonomy with authority to shape product as well as influence product's roadmap and release plan.
