Design Sprint Outcomes

Things to Remember

At the end of a Design Sprint, you’ll have

• a working prototype for your concept
• insights and validation from users on your concept
• tons of artifacts
• list of other ideas that can be explored

What happens after a Design Sprint? It really depends… But here are a few possibilities

• More testing and iteration
• The concept will go to Design to be more fully fleshed out
• The concept will go to Engineering to build
• Make a case with leadership to invest more resources in bringing concept to market
• The concept is abandoned because it doesn’t address a user need
• and lots more

Before the sprint starts, it’s a good practice to plan what the next steps afterward will be. But it’s also important to acknowledge and respond appropriately based on the outcome of the sprint.
