Design Sprint Services

A Design Sprint can help quickly prototype and test with real users. This way you can get real feedback even before building anything. This helps you mitigate risk and take the right decisions in terms of feature prioritization and user flow.

Businesses today are very much focused on the idea of ​​breakthrough innovation as the main activity in their unrelenting quest for organic growth. Companies know they need to add new value to the market and deliver it in a way that makes sense for consumers to stay relevant – and they want to find it fast. As a result, people turn to the Design Sprint as their method of choice for stimulating the development of innovative products and services.

To start a remote Design Sprint process, you need the right tools. Everyone needs a good video conferencing tool like Google Hangouts or Zoom. Virtual collaboration spaces such as the Miros Board are also great ways to brainstorm, share ideas and replicate designs. For creating design prototypes we use Figma.

The customer journey refers to a customer’s full experience with a brand or product, not just a portion of the experience. During the Design Sprint, the customer journey maps out a user experience step by step as they use their product.

Usability tests are conducted on real users to understand better how they interact with the product. This way one can improve the design based on the feedback provided.

Design Sprints typically require 5 full calendar free days. This is many times difficult for business owners. In Fact, in a remote Design Sprint setting, it is even hard to have focus through continuous days. Hence at Mindbowser, we divide the whole experience into smaller chunks of time and spread the complete sprint experience over a month period with expected 4-6 hours required weekly from the product owner.

A Design Sprint is effective when you are at a point in your journey where you are trying to find the next step ahead. It is useful when starting out a new product or a new version of an existing product as well as when you are trying to find a product fit.

Post Design Sprint, you end up with a click-through prototype. You take this prototype and test it with real users. Then we assess any gaps in user experience from the feedback received. Once wireframes are ready after revision they go for development and a development plan is created.

Design Thinking is a way of designing products, services, or experiences that strive on the end-user first. Design Sprint is a precise, week-long approach to help solve business problems that include variations of design thinking tenants, comprising prototyping and user research.

A clickthrough prototype links multiple screens that the user can access by click or tap on particular areas of the screen. The goal is to create a nonprogramming application that the users can still experience and understand the flow of information in the software.

Information architecture (IA) is a flowchart depicting the various modules and their connection in the application. IA provides a comprehensive view of the flow of information in the software.

Personas define your end user. They help you understand your user needs, aspirations, and expectations from the product. This in turn helps in prioritizing features and taking decisions by keeping the user needs at the center of any design decision.

At Mindbowser, a design sprint is a complete product development journey. And the expectation of design sprint, includes a complete user persona, competitor research, complete prototype development, and in-depth research. We invest up to 3 to 4 weeks into the process, but customers don’t need to invest their full time—most of the heavy lifting done by our UX designers and business analysts.
