Summary

Product Design Sprints, an invention of Google Ventures' design team, are intended to improve the chances of making something people want. We want to turn false confidence into validated confidence before beginning an expensive build. Alex Baldwin explains the exercises used in the 5 phases of a Design Sprint: Build, Diverge, Converge, Prototype, and Test.
