Plan and facilitate design sprints from challenge framing through prototype testing.
Design Sprint methodology based on Jake Knapp's "Sprint" (Google Ventures). Use when you need to: (1) validate product ideas in 5 days instead of months, (2) rapidly prototype and test solutions, (3) answer critical business questions quickly, (4) align teams on product direction, (5) de-risk product development before building, (6) test multiple concepts with real users, (7) make fast strategic decisions through structured process.
Run a structured 5-day process to prototype, test, and validate product ideas with real users. Use when the user mentions "design sprint", "validate in a week", "rapid prototype", "test with users", or "de-risk before building". Covers mapping, sketching, deciding, prototyping, and testing. For ongoing experimentation, see lean-startup. For customer job analysis, see jobs-to-be-done. Trigger with 'design', 'sprint'.
Use when asked to "run a design sprint", "5-day sprint", "prototype in a week", "test ideas before building", or "Jake Knapp sprint". Helps teams go from problem to tested prototype in five days. The Design Sprint framework (created by Jake Knapp at Google Ventures) compresses months of work into one focused week.
Talk to customers without leading them using Mom Test rules: discuss their life not your idea, ask about specifics in the past, and talk less. Use when the user mentions "customer interviews", "validate my idea", "users say they want it but don't buy", "leading questions", or "The Mom Test". Covers commitment and advancement, avoiding compliments, and extracting signal from noise. For product-market fit, see jobs-to-be-done. For rapid prototype testing, see design-sprint.
Design MVPs, validated learning experiments, and pivot-or-persevere decisions using Build-Measure-Learn. Use when the user mentions "MVP scope", "validated learning", "pivot or persevere", "vanity metrics", or "test assumptions". Covers innovation accounting and actionable metrics. For 5-day prototype testing, see design-sprint. For customer motivation analysis, see jobs-to-be-done. Trigger with 'lean', 'startup'.
Analyze what customers truly need by discovering the "job" they hire your product to do. Use when the user mentions "customer discovery", "why customers churn", "what job does this solve", "competing against luck", or "product-market fit". Covers JTBD interviews, competition analysis, and jobs-oriented roadmaps. For product positioning, see obviously-awesome. For rapid validation, see design-sprint. Trigger with 'jobs', 'to', 'be'.
