LX DESIGN SPRINT from the LX Design Tribe Tool Set

A Learning Experience (LX) Design sprint is a fast-paced group exercise designed to promote creative thinking and rapid prototyping (low-fidelity). With a focus on empathizing with our learners, this sprint empowers teams to collaborate on finding a novel solution to a reasonable design challenge.

The files in this packet support an LX Design sprint. You can use these files to explore your own practice, or to host an LX Design Sprint with a group of participants. Feel free to modify these files to suit your specific environment. Included in this packet:

• “How Might We” design challenge statements (8.5 x 11) • Simplified learner personas (8.5 x 11) • To-Be Empathy canvas (24 x 36) • Key Insights canvas (8.5 x 11) • Blank “How Might We” reframing canvas (8.5 x 11) • Six Ideas in Three Minutes canvas (24 x 36) • Prototype canvas (8.5 x 11)

Preparing for the Design Sprint In advance of the LX Design Sprint, explore the options available for design challenges and personas you think would work best within the narrative that you can construct around each. Note that the sprint works best when participants collaborate in groups of 6-10.

1. Choose at least one of the “How Might We” statements as the design challenge you want to use in your design sprint.

2. Select 3-4 personas that would work within the framework of the design challenge(s) that you have selected.

3. Print out the design challenge and personas you have selected to distribute to your attendees.

4. Print out the design sprint canvases (1 for each group). Note that two of the canvases are 24x36 inches. You can print them smaller if you do not have access to a large format printer.

In addition to the sprint materials in this packet, you will need:

• Markers/pens • Sticky notes (small square ones work well)

It is best to set up the room with everything out in advance of the session.

Facilitating the Design Sprint Welcome your team, and invite them to tap into their creativity and imagination as you work through each of these steps:

1. Articulate the design challenge 2. Introduce the personas 3. Work through the To-Be Empathy canvas 4. Take the pulse of the room 5. Identify obstacles and possibilities with the Key Insights canvas 6. Complete the 6 Ideas in 3 Minutes canvas 7. Share low-fidelity prototypes

1. Articulate the design challenge.

I highly encourage you to build out a narrative around the challenge. Feel free to create a new challenge that would resonate better with your team. Timing: Take as much time as needed to establish the scenario here, but avoid taking too much time answering questions in advance.

2. Introduce the personas and ask participants to review them. Note that these are highly simplified personas intended to guide deeper exploration of the design challenge, and how/what/why our learners might be thinking, feeling, saying or doing. Timing: 5-8 minutes

3. Work through the To-Be Empathy canvas. Guide participants to use the sticky notes to add their insights from the personas to the canvas. Prompt them to think deeply about how the learners are thinking/feeling/doing now, and how we want them to be thinking/feeling/doing in the future. Have them consider what it might take to get the learners from “now” to the “future”. It is helpful to review the question prompts on the canvas and use them as you guide participants through this step. Timing: 15-20 minutes

4. Take the pulse of the room. Have learners share out some key things they have discovered up to this point. Options are to have someone from each group move to another group and share, or to openly ask for input. I ask folks to “shout out” one thing that stands out for them in the process up to this point. Timing: 2-5 minutes

5. Identify obstacles and possibilities with the Key Insights canvas. Have learners take what they have discovered in the To-Be process and articulate what they think the true design challenge is. This is one method of honing our “How Might We” statements. It’s a bit like Mad Libs! Encourage your participants to share these with the room as they complete them. Timing: 5-8 minutes

6. Complete the Six Ideas in Three Minutes canvas. Note that this canvas has three parts: Six Ideas; Insights; and Possibilities. Part 1: Warn participants in advance that they will only have three minutes (feel free to change this if you feel you need more time). Participants only need to complete the Six Ideas in the allotted time. Parts 2 and 3: Give participants another 5 minutes to discuss and jot down their reasons why these ideas came to mind, and how they might manifest in response to the design challenge. Total Timing: 8-10 minutes

7. Share low-fidelity prototypes. Based on the ideas generated in the prior step, have participants agree on one idea to put forward as a prototype in response to the design challenge. In this design sprint, a prototype can be as simple as a description or illustration of a solution. These descriptions can range from simple and elegant to elaborate and seemingly impractical. Every prototype should be considered a triumph in this space! I have used collaborative technologies to enable participants to share their prototypes, and display them on a screen in the room as they are entered in. Timing: 8-10 minutes
