## Description

From three partners at Google Ventures, this is a unique and easy-to-follow five-day process for solving tough business problems and testing new ideas - proven at more than 100 companies. Sprint is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller. ' Sprint offers a transformative formula for testing ideas that works whether you're at a startup or a large organization' - Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup 'The genius of Jake Knapp's Sprint is its step-by-step breakdown of what it takes to solve big problems and do work that matters with speed and urgency' - Beth Comstock, Vice Chair of GE 'Game changer' - ***** Reader review 'Amazing book which yielded great practical results' - ***** Reader review 'Revolutionary' - ***** Reader review *********************************************************************************** Entrepreneurs and leaders face big questions every day: What's the most important place to focus your effort, and how do you start? What will your idea look like in real life? How many meetings and discussions does it take before you can be sure you have the right solution? Now there's a sure-fire way to answer these important questions: the sprint . Designer Jake Knapp created the five-day process at Google, where sprints were used on everything from Google Search to Google X. He joined Braden Kowitz and John Zeratsky at Google Ventures , and together they have completed more than one hundred sprints with companies in mobile, e-commerce, healthcare, finance, and more. A practical guide to answering critical business questions, Sprint is a book for teams of any size, from small startups to Fortune 100s, from teachers to non-profits. It's for anyone with a big opportunity, problem, or idea who needs to get answers today.

Review: Practical guide on everything you need to know to get going with using the Design Sprint process - Since the book publication in 2016, the Design Sprint process has become a familiar approach to efficiently solving big business problems/validating hypothesis that involve high amounts of complexity/uncertainty/risk, and Jake gives the background as to how Design Sprints originated along with an in-depth account of how they went through the process to test some ideas at Google Ventures. Covering a variety of different experiments which they ran/problems they addressed made it a good read, including Slack (finding the best way to explain Slack to non-tech customers), Savioke Hotels (how hotel guests would react to a robot with personality, by experimenting through a robot delivering a toothbrush to a guests room), Flatiron Health (dealing with the complexities of getting cancer patients into clinical trials), and Blue Bottle Coffee (getting their value proposition clear on a new digital experience). The book is practical, so if you’re new to Design Sprints, you’ll find it easy to create a plan which you can apply across your product as well as understand the key ingredients needed, so whilst tools have evolved to make it easier more than ever to validate a hypothesis in a remote world for digital products using the likes of Figma, Miro, UserTesting… the fundamentals haven’t changed in that you need to: 1. Collaborate with people throughout the sprint 2. Have a decision maker (normally Product Manager) 3. Identify a high priority problem to solve 4. Ideate and create prototype/s 5. Get feedback from potential customers “When you get into a regular rhythm of listening to customers, it can remind you why you’re working so hard in the first place.”
Review: Every start up founder needs to read this book! - Every start up founder who’s bootstrapping like a boss needs to read this book. It’s a game changer for MVPs and beyond! It honestly blew my mind how helpful this strategy is. The sprint is a genius approach to a world where there’s so many decisions to make that we create extra decisions to make for ourselves when we didn’t need to. This book not only shows you how to streamline your start up to success but how to I’m inner it into your business’ day to day functions too. If you’re a founder you need to read this. You can bin all the other books, this one will transform your business and inspire growth.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Practical guide on everything you need to know to get going with using the Design Sprint process
*by G***N on 10 April 2023*

Since the book publication in 2016, the Design Sprint process has become a familiar approach to efficiently solving big business problems/validating hypothesis that involve high amounts of complexity/uncertainty/risk, and Jake gives the background as to how Design Sprints originated along with an in-depth account of how they went through the process to test some ideas at Google Ventures.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every start up founder needs to read this book!
*by C***T on 5 May 2025*

Every start up founder who’s bootstrapping like a boss needs to read this book. It’s a game changer for MVPs and beyond! It honestly blew my mind how helpful this strategy is. The sprint is a genius approach to a world where there’s so many decisions to make that we create extra decisions to make for ourselves when we didn’t need to. This book not only shows you how to streamline your start up to success but how to I’m inner it into your business’ day to day functions too. If you’re a founder you need to read this.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very practical, useful and effective methodology synthesis
*by M***S on 12 April 2016*

Solid and tried and tested process for trying to design new digital products quickly. Read the book then do a practice sprint to gather experience and you can make a difference in design. The only criticism is horrible layout on the kindle version with tiny illustrations that are really hard to see. Also most of this content is already on the Google Ventures blog, but this is the more refined and defined version. If you want a book on agile design process methodology and best practice this is it - no question. The actual process draws from earlier ideas such as design studio and these processes have other elements worth seeking out. Also the diverge part of this process can be used in isolation as a structured idea generation technique and yields much better results than a post-it note brainstorm that takes hours to collate. So this is a synthesis of some techniques from IDEO and art and architecture and personal insights from the author, into a cohesive whole that works for the way we work today.
