Design Sprint — five-day rapid prototyping and testing process

Design Sprint

A five-day intensive framework developed at Google Ventures by Jake Knapp. Each day has a specific focus: Map (understand the problem), Sketch (generate individual solutions), Decide (select the best approach), Prototype (build a realistic-looking prototype), and Test (validate with five real users). It compresses months of iterative work into one week, producing a tested prototype and real user data before a single line of code is written.

  3. 3

    Day 3 — Decide: Sticky decision (silent dot voting), speed critique, storyboard for the prototype.

  4. 4

    Day 4 — Prototype: Build a realistic but fake prototype in one day. Divide roles: Makers, Stitcher, Writer, Asset Collector, Interviewer.

  5. 5

    Day 5 — Test: Five 1:1 user interviews. Team watches via video link. Debrief patterns across interviews.

  6. 6

Conseils

  • No devices in the room during the sprint (except for designated research).

  • The Decider (product/business owner) must be present the entire time — decisions cannot be delegated.

  • Five users is the minimum for reliable pattern recognition.',

Variantes

Run a 3-day or 4-day sprint by compressing phases. Use a 'sprint light' for smaller questions that don't require a full week. Remote sprints work with the right digital tooling (Miro, Figma).
