Let’s do this 👏

Monday: download everything while it is still fresh!

 

Facilitator

  • Send an email to the client with the week layout (a summary of this guide!)
  • Help the Designer to put together all relevant notes and takeaways from the Design Sprint week
  • Book time from a Developer to run a Technical Review on Thursday
  • IF there are business rules still pending to define – book time with the client to meet and define all pending business rules

 

Designer

  • Gather relevant notes and review them with the facilitator
  • Complete the Design Sprint Insight Keynote
  • Start filling the Post-Print Design Adjustments Template
  • Start filling the User Stories Template
  • Book time from another Designer to run a Design review on Thursday

 

Tuesday: Prepare for the Reviews

 

Facilitator

  • Check in with the Designer to see if she needs any information

Designer

  • Complete the Post-Print Design Adjustments Template
  • Complete the User Stories Template in preparation to the Tech Review (these User Stories should be very simple, remember that you'll write detailed User Stories DURING the tech Review)

Keep in mind at all times

Not all Design Sprints are exactly the same. Sometimes you'll need to negotiate more or less with the clients before agreeing on a final scope for the MVP. In any case, focus on delivering the Sprint materials, so that the 'Design Sprint Chapter' can be closed, and the Tech Leads are able to continue the sales conversation.
