20. When do you use a sprint?
• Complex problem
• High stakes
• Multiple stakeholders
• No clear answer
• Not enough time
• Just plain stuck
21. • Inpatient transfers from acute care to inpatient
units are not going smoothly
• Our inpatient unit does not feel patient and
family centred
• Patients waiting in hospital for appropriate level
of care
• Front line staff do not feel confident making
privacy decisions
• Physicians are not signing up to the Blended
Capitation Model
Sprint-relevant problems
(that have already been sprinted)
23. Sprint Readiness Checklist
• The problem
• The Decider is key!
• Who are the participants
• Post sprint considerations
24. Patients cannot provide instant feedback to
hospitals and clinics about their care.
• Planning
• Understanding
• Diverge
• Define
• Prototype
• Test

Design #SprintSchool
OBJECTIVES
Pitch a sprint to leadership and peers
Understand what kind of problems can be addressed in a sprint
Know the 5 phases of a design sprint
Be familiar with some of the methods/tools used in each phase
Know how to prepare for a sprint
Be able to run a sprint or co-facilitate one with a more experienced sprint master

ER
In order to understand a design sprint, you must be versed in its genesis, which is design thinking.
ER
Human centred design.
Solution-finding process.
Applies scientific method to the creative process.
ER
-Started with d.school at Stanford, became mainstream in the 90s when IDEO was formed.
-David Kelley is the father of modern design thinking
ER
Has many different interpretations and applications, but always starts with EMPATHY.
is measured by how well it fulfills the user’s needs, and it prioritizes rapid experimentation and testing.
ER – Many problem solving methods tend to start with solutions after assuming the problem is the right one. Taking action depends on having the right solution.
Why do we need a different way to solve problems?
Analysis paralysis
Planning for the perfect solution
ER
Design thinking starts with the assumption that the problem is too broad.
The thinking processes of diverging and converging removes the double trap of working on the wrong problem, and fixating on a perfect solution.
When the solution is a prototype, it’s an experiment. It’s not precious. It’s not expensive. It hasn’t taken years to come to this point so if it doesn’t work, you know quickly – and you can move on to a new idea.
ER
- Five stages are not linear, which is why you might see them in different orders.
In design culture, failure is seen as a step in the right direction. If we know what isn’t working, and we learn that quickly, we can regroup – rework – and retest. This process makes it possible to rapidly tweak the solution over and over again until value is created.
Once you’ve gathered full understanding of your problem, it might take several iterations of a prototype before you find something that you should implement.
The key is that you’re implementing quickly, and cheaply.
ER
At the heart of the process is finding that sweet spot:
What is possible, what is doable, and what is wanted
Knowing who can help you answer these questions will help you put together a great sprint team
ER
And no matter whether you’re designing a product, a service, an app or a whole new system – you always start with empathy. You not only want to know WHAT the problem is, but WHY it is a problem and HOW the user feels about it.
ER
Design thinking is kicking along just great, then Jake Knapp starts to ponder.
Jake Knapp is a lead designer at Google.
Notices that when he has hard and fast deadlines, he produces better work
Wonders how that could apply to design thinking
ER
So Jake takes a look at the design thinking method, and adds limitations.
He limits the time to do it.
He limits the people involved.
He limits the tools and the technology used.
ER
And he comes up with a tight 5 day interpretation of design thinking, called a sprint.
At AHS, we know that asking front-line staff, patients, or leaders to dedicate 5 days to a sprint is just not gonna fly. So we modified the approach to 2 days, with the understanding that a significant portion of the “empathy / or mapping / or research” phase taking place before the sprint occurs.
Next week, at sprint school, we’re going to work with this 2-day sprint format.
All the stages are there, adapted for our reality
More pressure on facilitator to keep the time, capture the ideas, and trust in the process.
ER
Who has used design thinking in their work? – How did it change your mind set?

AA – give some examples of how you got a sense things would be heading the wrong direction
It is not a way to create buy in to an already canned solution
It is not a strategic planning session
It is not focused on building a policy
It is not about finding a standardized way to solve this problem
AA– we have some time here… 5-10
AA
AA– mention the challenge of knowing in advance if there could be a prototype.
AA– how people start a sprint and over time the problem you want to solve changes
Give examples?

MvD – we can put checklist in IM and I will walk through it
