The Design Sprint method was invented and used extensively by Google Ventures with some of the worlds' most innovative companies. The entire process behind the sprint was designed to create and validate new ideas in just 4 days, in order to allow teams to develop new products, services and business models faster.
Today Design Sprints is being used by companies such as Google, Facebook, Slack, Uber, Netflix and Airbnb - and they are becoming more used in corporate innovation practices around the world.
