With a limited scope and a short duration of a week, a sprint can test and validate ideas about user flow, functionality, and interaction design around a specific product goal. \n+\n+At DockYard, we've been utilizing the design sprints methodology for the past several months, and refining what that process means for us. Design sprints begin with a planning phase, where we work with the client to develop a scope of work for each sprint duration. We've learned through experience what to expect about timing, activity, and production within a given sprint. However, for each new client, we must help them understand what to expect, which is quite different from a more traditional design process. Hands on involvement is an integral part of a design sprint, and it is imperative for us to set the expectations about participation up front. In the same vein, the outcomes and deliverables of a design sprint are low fidelity and more strategic in nature, so it is important to define the end goals and deliverables to support them. \n+\n+To elaborate on [Maria's post about Design Sprints] (https://dockyard.com/blog/2015/08/17/design-sprints-what-are-they-for), here's a \"what to expect\" about participation, outcomes, and deliverables.\n+\n+\n+A stakeholder from the product in development is a very important participant in the design sprint, and they should expect to be hands on and present for the full sprint duration. Design sprints move very fast, and their industry knowledge and understanding of the product is key to a successful outcome. The team can move forward quickly and efficiently with the availability to ask questions and help make informed assumptions along the way. Stakeholders come with unique insights about the product that can illuminate conditions of the target market, knowledge about users, business goals, and any known limitations or pre-existing conditions up front.\n+\n+Planning the sprint objectives and project goals before the start of the sprint is important to stay focused on the task at hand. It can happen that other ideas may arise during a sprint - the design team leader will make sure to document for later, or redirect the sprint to address those considerations if they are integral to the solution.","path":"source/posts/2015-09-22-What-to-expect-from-a-design-sprint.md","position":22,"original_position":22,"commit_id":"987cbcc4390c9b166e06deefe81782ba155547d5","original_commit_id":"987cbcc4390c9b166e06deefe81782ba155547d5","user":{"login":"kidfribble","id":241320,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/241320?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kidfribble","html_url":"https://github.com/kidfribble","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kidfribble/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kidfribble/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kidfribble/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kidfribble/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kidfribble/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kidfribble/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kidfribble/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kidfribble/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kidfribble/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"body":"\"It
