Design Studio is a true Power Method to expand and find unexpected solutions quickly on any topic – or to understand the difficulties with your solution – or to design user flows, or interaction design. Design studio is extremely time boxed, it always delivers understanding to the group, and even tangable results in a very effective way. Use it with agile development, and you have the rythm that agile gives, and the discovery and innovation and strong commitment that design studio gives, all you need to add then is validation. My top 3 favourite all time. The more diverse your team is, the more perspectives you will see at the same time, and the better your ideas will be. In the start of a new thing you might want to invite stakeholders, customer service, HR, marketing or others. When you do your sprints, you might pick some one outside the team to get a broader picture.

- 5. Warm-up Quietly and as quick as you can write down car brands (or something else that every one in the room can do without thinking) from top of your mind on sticky notes. One on each sticky. mia.kolmodin@crisp.se

Editor's Notes
- Design Studio is a method that any one can use to ideate and find solutions for problems. It is a great way for Agile teams to quickly find ideas that creates value. If you learn the method and apply it to a evaluation process, you can solve any problem any time as a group. It is important to keep this very time boxed. Have someone own the timer. Do 2 or 3 iterations, or until you have no new ideas. 3-5 people in each group is a good number. If possible have several teams, they will come up with different ideas, and you will be even more innovative!
- The more diverse your team is, the more perspectives you will see at the same time, and the better your ideas will be. In the start of a new thing you might want to invite stakeholders, customer service, HR, marketing or others. When you do your sprints, you might pick some one outside the team to get a broader picture.
- ILLUMINATE - Set the framing for the design studio. What is the focus? Is it a specific problem on your sprint planning, is it innovation for a new market, is a flow of a specific persona, or is it a interaction design problem? 1. SKETCH - Sketch on the ideas that YOU have, from YOUR perspective. Use a big A3 paper, fold it in 4 squares, sketch one idea in each square. 4 minutes. Set the timer. 1 minute in each square. Second and third iteration, you might want to sketch more focused on one idea and use the full paper. 2. PRESENT - Present your different ideas for your group in brief, dont dig into details. Present the bad ones as well, the probably led you towards a new idea. 30 seconds presentation per person, and then do critique for each person directly in 30 sec. 3. CRITIQUE - If you think the idea is brilliant, you can say that. But dont start elaborating into the idea in a discussion... just steal the idea and build on it! No negative critique is allowed, but you can ask for some short explanation on the idea. 30 sec critique for the person presenting (not for each listener) 4. PICK YOUR WINNERS - Depending on the reason for the Design Studio you might want to dot vote with your team on the most interesting ideas to bring with you and work with in the sprint, or do a prototype for, test with real users, create a business case with, or a technical spike you want to do because you found some risks you where un aware of. Dot vote with 3 votes each on what you want to move forward with.
- Do a warm up activity to get your minds set to ideate quickly without having the evaluation filter on. Just get it out. You do this for 30 sec or something. Make sure every one can get things out really quickly.
- Set the framing by giving the team a clear framing of what they should all discover during the Design Studio. It could be a specific problem you have in your agile team, it could be the user story you are about to work on, it could be a new market you would like to move in to, a new device, new customers… or what ever. If they need insights to be able to come up with good ideas you need to provide that for every one at this stage.

- You always need to focus on how you can create value. After a Design Studio, you could start evaluating different ideas and create experiments to find out where the valu is. Always look from these three perspectives on all solutions: - Is it lovable, will it solve a problem for a prioritized persona, a real user? - Can we sell it, is someone willing to pay for it, and how much? - Can we build it, or can we invest in creating it?
- This visualization of the Discovery Process and how you open up for as many possibilities as possible from different perspectives, and then get creative and validate your ideas, and move on with those that creates value.. It is a rather energizing process once you learn how to do it, but it also takes a lot of energy. Therefore we want to keep short time boxes, we will not get better result if we spend more time. First we set the framing, then we want to get as many perspectives as possible, explore possibilities and empathize with the customer. Then we ideate as a group for solutions in more details, and validate our hypotheses and change as we learn. The Design Studio could be the start of this process, where you find as many different ideas as possible, and then prototype and dig into more detail, or do what ever you need to validate them with real users.
- Discover to Deliver - Detailed plans that do not evaluates along with delivery are set to fail. You need to Discover Solutions to Deliver Value, meaning you change your plan as you go along. Design Studio is a great method to use to help with this.
