the intersection of product, user experience,
and engineering
Product Metabolism
first, what is metabolism?
it's the set of life-sustaining chemical
transformations within the cells of living organisms
what is product metabolism?
it's the set of life-sustaning transformations of key-
learnings and opportunity into released product
changes
you want a high metabolism
that means your organization can quickly take an opportunity and have a solution in your
customers hands, quickly
this should be no more than 2 or 3 weeks
but this is really tough given our current product
development methodologies
So What's Wrong With Our Existing
Methods?
waterfall
scrum
kanban
free for all
none of these make the organization agile
enter design sprints
What's A Design Sprint?
5 day process to go from an idea, problem, or opportunity, to a user
tested high fidelity prototype
Understand > Diverge > Converge > Prototype > Test
Understand1. Review the opportunity
2. Conduct lightning demo's
3. Layout existing user flows
4. Define success
5. Review existing research
6. Interview internal stakeholders
7. Review existing analytics
Diverge1. Mind map
2. Crazy eights (sketching excercise)
3. Story board
4. Silent critique
5. 3 minute critiques
6. Super votes
7. Repeat
Converge1. Search for conflict
2. Best shot or battle royale
3. Identify assumptions to test
4. Whiteboard your user story(ies)
Prototype1. Make it minimally real
2. Write real copy
3. Divide and conquer
4. Lightning critiques
5. Review with an outsider
Test1. Review your assumptions
2. Identify your key questions
3. Setup observation room
4. Test any A/V in advance
5. Conduct your tests
6. Assess your findings
So What Do We Think?
love it, love it, love it
we've conducted 5 design sprints
across our web products, mobile products, and even a visual rebrand
What Have We Learned?
A Lot
setup a product war room
don't walk in with a solution
don't skimp on the prep : data
don't skimp on the prep : design brief
don't skimp on the prep : external involvement
don't skimp on the prep : sizing
don't skimp on the prep : day 1 interviews
assign a sprint lead
assign someone to start recruiting day 5 testers, on
day 1
invest in tools like silverback
invest in codifying your findings
prioritize your sprints against your roadmap
allow sprints to beget sprints
allow sprints to inform your roadmap
involve engineering
involve the executives on day 1
involve key stakeholders on day 1
conduct retrospectives just like engineering
