Design Sprint at Relab.

The Design Sprint workshop is a 5-day structured process to solve a complex problem. By the end of Day 5, the team will have a user-validated prototype that represents the vision.

Efficient, low risk, innovative.

The facilitation of our 5-day Design Sprint workshop aims to create solutions for new digital products/features or improving existing ones through design thinking. At the end of the session, the business will see high fidelity prototypes that are relevant, specific and tested by real users, resulting in valuable insights, feedback and suggestions that can validate important business decisions. All done within 1 week time!

Originally created by Jake Knapp of Google Ventures, this methodology has proven to be well-structured and efficient that it saves businesses months worth of time and budget and compresses it into just one week of investment.

We believe that one of the most cost effective ways to address a business question is to test ideas and products on real users as early as possible, that it allows us to measure, learn and refine rapidly without having to prematurely waste time, money and resources on the actual build and technology development.

The benefits.

Real user feedback

Real user or customer feedback is gathered at the early stage of the product development process (before it’s too late!)

Clear problem framing

Who is a Design Sprint for?

Based on our experience producing high-fidelity prototypes in our Design Sprint facilitation process, we find this works best for:

Business challenges/questions that are assumed to be high impact, with high risk of investment if it was to be fully executed straight away.
Project that has plenty of assumptions and falls in the spectrum of the unknown. The Design Sprint will be able to help clarify most of those questions by going directly to real users.
Larger businesses with many stakeholders, as this exercise is great for unpacking business complexity and cross-functional teams.

In our experience, the Design Sprint works best when teams get buy-in from stakeholders early in the process that the purpose and goal of the exercise is clear to all parties involved.

What's in the agenda?

One of the key values of the Design Sprint is its compact, well-structured activity agenda. We understand that it can feel like a massive commitment for teams to be taken out of their daily work schedule to participate in the 5-day Design Sprint workshop. However, this intense and action-packed process is designed to increase productivity that leads to realistic and valuable action. Based on the Sprint Book by Jake Knapp, the Design Sprint has clear and specific guidelines every step of the way that you can be assured that the outcome will be achieved on budget, on time.

“Relab was able to take us from customer research to a fully functional app design in five days. The design sprint process allowed us to test assumptions, learn from experts and trial our new design with customers which gives me confidence that our new design is going to resonate with customers.”
