Test your product idea before you build it.
Guides teams to validate product ideas through a five-day sprint ending in a prototype and customer testing.
When to use it
Use for high-stakes product decisions, stalled debates, competing solutions, new products or major redesigns, and reducing risk before investing.
Give it a product decision or sprint plan; it provides structured sprint guidance and assesses the plan against ten criteria.
Running the sprint requires a laptop for Thursday prototyping and presenting the prototype during Friday interviews.
Running Friday's testing requires a camera to record interviews, including the screen and customer's face.
The sprint's equipment checklist calls for a TV or monitor so the team can observe Friday interviews.
