Stages of the Design Sprint | Design Sprint | Product Design | Udacity

Description:
-
There are six stages or
modes of a design sprint.
-
And each of these stages solves
an important part of the design process.
-
The first phase is the understand phase.
-
In this phase, you're trying to
get clarity on the business goals,
-
the problem you're solving for,
technical feasibility, the market, and
-
user needs.
-
You've actually already been working on
some of this throughout the first two
-
lessons of the course.
-
And there are other activities that
you can do, which I'll cover later.
-
The second stage is the define stage.
-
In this stage, you might define the goal
for the product or certain features.
-
This might include the positioning,
a user journey, or
-
metrics related to the product or
those certain features.
-
We'll cover more about
metrics in lesson 4.
-
Now, this stage is similar to what
Richard Fulcher was talking about when
-
he mentioned tasks that
are related to a user's goals.
-
For example, a user may search for
a particular grocery item
-
in our shopping app, which would be
then added to the cart for purchase.
-
The third stage is the diverge stage.
-
In this stage, you want to create
as many solutions as you can
-
to the original design challenge.
-
And this is the stage where you really
get to unleash your creativity.
-
It's the fun part.
-
The fourth stage is the decide stage,
and in this stage,
-
you really just want to deliberate
about the ideas that you came up with
-
in the previous diverge stage, refine
those, and then choose the best one or
-
some combination of the ideas so that
way you get a best possible product.
-
The fifth stage is
the prototyping stage.
-
In this stage, you want to actually
create and build the wireframes,
-
the mockups, or the prototypes that
you'll actually test with real users.
-
These are the deliverables
of the design sprint.
-
And finally,
the last stage is the validation stage.
-
In this stage, you really want to
test your products with real users.
-
You're testing your wireframes,
your mockups, or your prototypes, to
-
determine whether or not the hypotheses,
or your risky assumptions are true.
-
You're trying to figure out whether or
not you have the right product, and
-
whether or not it's usable.
-
So there you have it,
the six stages of a design sprint.
-
Understand, define, diverge,
decide, prototype, and validate.
-
Throughout this lesson, Amir will
interview a design sprint master
-
at Google and
talk more about each of these stages.
-
I'll follow those videos by
describing activities that you can do
-
with each of these stages.
-
As you watch the videos, think about
which activities might be helpful for
-
your specific design challenge.
