A Custom Solution for Testing New Ideas
ROLE:
Project Management, Prototyping, Team Management
Looking to foster design thinking across the organization, I adapted the Google Ventures Design Sprint strategy to fit our product team needs.
FOLLOWING THE WEEK-LONG GOOGLE VENTURES FORMAT, I MODERATED ONE OF ZILLOW’S FIRST DESIGN SPRINTS
THE FORMAT WAS BIG SUCCESS ACROSS THE ORGANIZATION, BUT WE NEEDED A WAY TO CONTINUE TO GET CROSS-DEPARTMENT INVOLVEMENT WITHOUT A FULL WEEK’S COMMITMENT – SO I ADAPTED THE FORMAT TO FIT THE MOST VALUABLE STEPS INTO A SINGLE HALF-DAY SPRINT.
A VITAL PART OF EACH SPRINT WAS COLLECTING & ORGANIZING THE IDEAS TO BEGIN TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO PROTOTYPE & TEST
