From a high-level perspective the Google Design Sprint is great. It serves as a valuable tool for kickstarting creativity efficiently and is revered across the tech landscape. However, our teams faced a few issues trying to implement this framework: 1. We were unable to arrange consecutive meetings due to varying class schedules 2. There was no availability for long, 5-6 hours brainstorming sessions 3. The given template is too slow for teams working remotely As a result, we had to reimagine the sprint, radically transforming the traditional 5-day intensive sprint to 2 virtual meetings over 2 weeks, supplemented with individual tasks. Check out our solution in the Medium article attached. It’s a straightforward account of our methods, challenges, and the lessons learned along the way. #TechForGood #Innovation #Design
