What People Say
“Save yourself the heartburn and don't run a Design Sprint until you've taken this course.”
—Leeanna Lim, Director, Design Studio, Cox Communications
“The Wily Design Sprint Bootcamp is the next best thing to being a fly on the wall of an actual sprint."
—Nathan Kotecki, Business Process Consultant, Blue Cross Blue Shield
"Despite having read the book multiple times and running one sprint, the workshop provided me all of the in-between parts and things not covered in the book. It really was worth my time (and I'm the cautious sort)."
—Andy Herzig, Product Designer, Paycor
What You’ll Experience
Learn the Design Sprint process from Wily’s team of experts who design and deliver Design Sprints and training across the globe. In three interactive, fast-paced sessions, you will experience a hands-on simulation of a real design sprint.
From mapping, sketching, and deciding, you’ll learn to master each step by actually doing it. Plus learn prototyping and testing methods, tools and best practices based on real Design Sprints, prototypes and products. Our all-star team will coach you through all five stages of the Design Sprint process.
You’ll build muscle memory for facilitating your own in-person or virtual sprints (whether it’s your 1st or 101st) and for incorporating these techniques into problem solving, product development, and day-to-day operations.
Design Sprints
Design Sprints are a proven, repeatable process for rapidly solving big challenges, creating new products or services, or improving existing ones. It compresses months of work into just a few days.
Design Sprints help teams validate solutions quickly and effectively so you can focus on giving your customers what they truly want.
Teams around the world use Design Sprints to solve big problems and test new ideas, including Nest, Slack, 23andMe, Flatiron Health, AirBnB, Lego, the British Museum and the United Nations.
“It's like fast-forwarding into the future, so you can see how customers react before you spend all the time and expense of building a real product.”
— Jake Knapp, Author of SPRINT
