You've been circling a big decision for weeks. Meetings produce discussion but not resolution. The team needs to test something real, not talk about testing it.

Design Sprints are Google Ventures' five-day process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing with real users. You compress months of debate into a structured week: understand, sketch, decide, prototype, test.

A five-day horizontal timeline labelled DAY 1 MAP, DAY 2 SKETCH, DAY 3 DECIDE, DAY 4 PROTOTYPE and DAY 5 TEST, each day carrying a short task description, under the banner "five days - short enough to lock the room in, long enough to ship."
