The Power of Design Sprints for Product Team

6:00 p.m. The Albany Club - 91 King Street East, Toronto, Ontario

Speakers: Leah Oliveira and Carlos Oliveira

Today, product teams are under pressure to be more creative, innovative and delight customers sooner, but lack the knowledge and skills to know where to start. Agile product teams have frameworks and methods for rapid feedback, but generally, lack real data from real users to make good business decisions. As product release cycles run longer and longer, team members lose enthusiasm and focus on the customer.

As a tool, Design Sprints offer Agile teams an effective and transformative formula for testing ideas with real people, whether you’re on a small team at a start-up, scale-up, or inside a large portfolio of projects at an enterprise organization. Within five days, teams move from idea to prototyping/testing, to better business decisions, ultimately saving time, effort, and energy over the long-run. Join Leah Oliveira and Carlos Oliveira, co-founders of AdaptiveX, as they introduce both the business side (Leah) and technology side (Carlos) of design sprints for product teams, a process for rapid experimentation and learning that helps teams solve big problems and test new ideas in less than five days.

Originally created by three partners at Google Ventures, the process has been proven at hundreds of companies. Both Leah and Carlos have been involved in many organizational transformations and have run dozens of design sprints for the Fortune 500, witnessing how product teams can harness the power of design sprints to focus their efforts and deliver more appropriate solutions to market sooner.
