Slides from my UXcamp Berlin presentation.
We, at StudyPortals, experiment a LOT with different design methods.
This time I talked about design sprints, a methodology introduced by Google. As a quick process to define the future of your product.
This year we challenged ourselves to run 5 design sprints at the same time, virtually occupying half of the company for a week of UX activities. How did we do it? What went wrong?

With a little bit of magic and meeting rescheduling we managed to clean up agenda of the future team. Which finally consisted of 8 members of 6 nationalities from 5 different departments. On the other 7 sprints every team facilitator contacted main stakeholders outside of Engineering department to get them on board.
