Why should you run a one-week sprint?

  • It is fast and dedicated
  • It helps narrow your options further
  • There is no distraction
  • You will get an immediate idea about customers’ needs

Here is how you can get started:

  1. Choose a challenge that is neither too broad nor too narrow
  2. Recruit a decider and a sprint team
  3. Prepare a war room (refer to the war room method card)
  4. Get all the stationery supplies and refreshments ready
  5. Pick a facilitator
  6. Schedule extra extrenal experts and interviewees
  7. Block five full days on the calendar
  8. Follow the 5-day schedule. Refer to the template

Tips to get the most out of your sprint:

  • No distractions like laptops or phones during the sprint.
  • All exercises must be timeboxed to create focus and urgency.
  • Plan for sufficient breaks and a late lunch.
  • The entire process should be documented.
  • Put someone in charge of recruiting customers for the test.
  • Do all five interviews in one day to see patterns emerging.

An alternative format that allows for deeper and further validation is a twelve-week sprint.
