Design Sprints have been rumoured to be magical workshops in Middle Earth where product stakeholders of different stripes, we’re talking elves, dwarves and humans, here, lock themselves in a room full of whiteboards for 5 days then emerge with a solution to a tough business question amidst a flurry of sticky notes. Though the part about magic is just a myth but the rest of it (including how orcs used it for weapon production) is as real as it gets. This 19th October, 9.30am at WORQ at KL Gateway Mall, Stampede Makers #4: Design Sprints: From Uncertainty to Validated Confidence in 5 Days join us as we explore Design  Sprints in two parts:  The Talk & Networking (10am - 12.30pm) Shaza Hakim, UX Principal at Stampede, will be your proverbial Gandalf the Grey and walk you through what a Design Sprint is and share how and when you should use it to answer critical business conundrums, reduce uncertainty in your product development and give you clarity on how to move forward. Besides debunking a couple of myths like needing to be a designer or developer to participate, we’ll also cover how sprints tackle other nitty gritty issues like assembling the right sprint team (the Fellowship of the Ring), taking smart risks with product decisions (trusting Gollum), marshalling brains towards answering sprint questions (Rohirrim!) and reducing guesswork early so that you can build and launch faster with confidence (using Great Eagles). Bonus: Our Inspiration Wall will be making a cameo. The Workshop (12.30 - 5pm)  In the afternoon, prepare to get your hands dirty with Shaza and the Stampede team as they guide you through the key activities in a Design Sprint, from understanding your users and their needs to getting your key stakeholders excited by putting a solid prototype in the user's hands in 5 days time. This is a participatory workshop so keep your energy high and your mind open to collaboration and possibilities! Lembas bread, we mean, a light lunch will be provided. The workshop will cover the highlights of each of the 5 Design Sprint days and involve hands-on activities with:  Pre-sprint priming Journey mapping Turning pain points into opportunities Solutions sketching Prototyping demo  Usability testing What takeaways will you get from the workshop? A real life, highly-immersive experience running a Design Sprint Knowing critical components of Design Sprint, how to run them together or individually (yes we can!) Practical understanding of what makes Sprints a low risk, high reward method Increasing Design Sprint success through pre-Sprint activities Tips to change the way you look at products as evolving instead of finished Ways to get buy-in from your team to start your own Design Sprint Real tips from the team that has run Design Sprints many many times There and Back Again.  ----This meetup and workshop are for you if you’re asking these questions:  What is a Design Sprint and what outcomes does it deliver for my team?  How do I reduce risk when building products and services?
