Year round learning for product, design and engineering professionals

Daniel Burka–Design Sprints

At Web Directions 2015 we had the rare privilege of hearing from Daniel Burka, talking about the Design Sprint process and methodology that they have development at GV (formerly Google Ventures), where Daniel is now a Design Partner (GV is Google’s venture investment arm, and like other Venture Capital funds, if even more so, they place a lot of value on design, with a number of design partners, and a whole design team which works with companies GV has invested in to improve the quality of their design.)

One aspect of this is an approach to solving design problems they call a Design Sprint. The team has shared their thinking around this extensively, including an upcoming book.

At Web Directions 2015, Daniel gave us a great overview of the process, the thinking behind it, and the outcomes they’ve been achieving. I hope you enjoy one of my highlights from the conference, and something very useful for most teams.
