How to Match Design Sprint with Product Development Process

At present, traditional research and design methods cannot support product decisions well, but the communication and implementation of research insights is an important but weak part of the research process, and the information loss during the design discussion and product implementation and development is serious.

Understand design thinking and its application in the entire product development process, especially the preparation of key nodes and communication strategies, practice and master the use of design thinking methods to co-create, test and verify conceptual models / prototypes, familiarize with common methods of key steps and The core output can help product teams (product managers, designers, front-end and back-end development) to interpret and implement user needs, discuss and promote product decisions.

This workshop will share the changes and applications of design thinking in the product development process, as well as the preparation and communication strategies of key nodes when applying design thinking concepts, discuss and practice common methods and core outputs of key steps, and create together , Test and validate conceptual models / prototypes.
