Design Sprint overview

Five-day structured design workflow for rapidly understanding a problem, exploring solution concepts, building a prototype, and validating it with real users before committing to full implementation. The product designer facilitates daily phases covering problem mapping, solution sketching, storyboarding, prototyping, and user testing. The UX researcher recruits participants and conducts moderated testing sessions on day five. Results are synthesised into a decision brief that either greenlights the concept for development, recommends a pivot, or identifies key unknowns requiring further exploration before proceeding.
