Lean Design Sprints
How it works
The Lean Design Sprint is an accelerated discovery phase that focuses on the key proposition or problem and getting to a solution faster.
- 5 days. 3 days of problem-solving, 2 days of design and testing
- Accelerate the standard design process to launch products faster
- Quickly understand if your solution is worth developing or where it needs to change
- Define the problem, Investigate solutions, agree, design and test with customers
Our principles
A well-defined problem is a well-solved problem.
- You must know your ‘what’ and the ‘why’.
- Believe in the people and the process.
- Focus on the concept not the detail of the UI.
- Validation with 5 customers will get 80% of your insights

Our D.I.D.I.T framework™ – Our tried and tested framework relies on a partnership with you. We act as your facilitators and designers to drive outcomes that would be impossible outside of the Design Sprint process.
The outcome of a Design Sprint can be totally different depending on the problem you are trying to solve. Sometimes it’s a roadmap, sometimes it’s a method and sometimes it’s a product. At North, we focus on working with software companies because that’s what we know best!
There are five vital phases to your design sprint:

What does it look like
The D.I.D.I.T Design Sprint is a 5-day process for rapidly solving problems, creating new solutions or improving new ones. It compresses months of work into just a few days!
This is what it looks like…
When to do a Design Sprint
Our clients approach us with a variety of different problems they are trying to solve. The design sprint methodology works with either the development of a new idea or the evaluation and optimisation a current product.
- Increase the chance your investments will succeed
- Speed up the product design & development process
- Roadtest new ideas or solutions without building the whole product
- Identify what the challenges are with the current experience
- Remove guesswork; design, test, measure, learn
Outcomes
The outcome of a Lean Design Sprint can be totally different depending on the problem you are trying to solve.
Sometimes it’s a roadmap, sometimes it’s a product. The standard outcome includes:
-
Validation of some pre-flight research
-
Facilitation of the 5-day session
-
A functioning prototype of the solution
-
An executive report
-
Video recordings of the research sessions
-
Developer-ready design files
