These “solutions” are bad ideas perfectly executed.

The exercise works best when you sketch several variations of the same idea. Take a favorite piece from your ideas sheet and ask yourself, “What would be another good way to do this?” Keep going until you can’t think of any more variations, then look back at your ideas sheet, choose a new idea, and start riffng on it instead.
Crazy 8s is also a great writing exercise. If your idea contains words or marketing headlines or any other bits of text, you can use Crazy 8s to improve your phrasing. As you’ll see in the next step, writing is often the most important component of the solution sketch.
Crazy 8s from the Blue Bottle Coffee sprint. The frames show experiments with phrasing (“hand pour coffee” vs. “pour over coffee”), navigation, and page layout.
Sometimes Crazy 8s leads to a revelation. You might come away with several new ways of looking at your ideas. Other times, it feels less productive. Sometimes that frst idea really is the best idea. Either way, Crazy 8s helps you consider alternatives—and also serves as an excellent warm-up for the main event.

@BennoLoewenberg
1. UNDERSTAND
Shared knowledge and shared brain
View from/illustrate all angles
Mapping the problem space
@BennoLoewenberg
Individual work
Focus and strategy
Not the 1st ready, but many ideas
2. SKETCH
@BennoLoewenberg
Collaboratively surfacing the best ideas
Narrowing down to what makes sense
Building consensus on solutions
3. DECIDE
@BennoLoewenberg
Gaining knowledge earlier on what has potential
Rapid Prototyping to test ideas before investing a ton of time, money, or resources
Real Enough-Experience
4. PROTOTYPE
@BennoLoewenberg
Most important part of a sprint
Answer the hardest question: “How good is this idea actually ?”
Immediate feedback from potential users
5. VALIDATE
