What this video covers
A design sprint is a time-boxed process - classically five days - for answering a big product question by going from idea to a tested prototype in a week, without building the real thing first. Devised at Google Ventures, it compresses months of debate into a structured week: map the problem, sketch solutions, decide, build a realistic prototype, and test it with real users.
Step through the week and watch a vague, high-stakes question become a tested answer in five days - map, sketch, decide, prototype, test - without building anything real. That's the design sprint: compress the months of "build it and find out" into a week of structured learning, so you de-risk the big bet before committing to it.
