Design Sprint

Sometimes my most productive work is done under pressure.  Here is a design strategy for a "Design Sprint":

Before the sprint: Prepare
    Get the people and things you need.
Day 1: Understand
    Dig into the design problem through research, competitive review, and strategy exercises.
Day 2: Diverge
    Rapidly develop as many solutions as possible.
Day 3: Decide
    Choose the best ideas and hammer out a user story.
Day 4: Prototype
    Build something quick and dirty that can be shown to users.
Day 5: Validate
    Show the prototype to real humans (in other words, people outside your company) and learn what
    works and what doesn’t work.
