What is Design Sprint
- The Design Sprint is a five-day process developed at GV for answering critical business questions through design, prototype, and idea testing with actual users.
- Design sprint is derived from design thinking to solve problems effectively within a specific time range.
- We help you cut to the chase and avoid busywork by compressing months of work into a single week. At the end of sprint you will have a high fidelity, interactive prototype and a sound value proposition.
Why use Design Sprint
- Minimize endless-debates and compress development cycle from months to weeks.
- Quickly test an idea and get clear data from a realistic prototype instead of waiting to launch a minimal product.
- Fast-forward into market, and lower the risks of making any expensive commitments in vain.
Keep Pace with the Most Innovative Companies
Design Sprint has been run by many global enterprises, such as Slack, Airbnb, Uber, Medium and McKinsey.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE SPRINT?
You have your real prototype and concrete feedback from your users. At this point, your vision is clear and allows you to make the right decision. Re-launch a second sprint to iterate and refine the solution in order to launch production or step back from the concept and explore the possibilities more precisely thanks to user research and slow innovation.
