The document summarizes the first day of an AUX bootcamp. Participants learned about the design thinking process and product design sprints. They were split into groups and guided through an exercise where they interviewed each other about wallet usage, developed personas, and sketched wallet prototypes addressing an identified problem. The document outlines the typical 5 day product design sprint process of understanding the problem on day 1, diverging with ideas on day 2, deciding on a solution on day 3, prototyping on day 4, and validating with user tests on day 5.

25. Product Design Sprints

26. As long as it’s an important problem,
it’s perfect for a design sprint.

27. Day 1: Understand
1) Business Opportunities
2) Competitors
3) How to Measure Success
4) Existing Research
5) Who Should I Interview?
6) Most Important User Story

28. Brief Pause for Brainstorming

29. Day 1: Understand
1) Business Opportunities
2) Competitors
3) How to Measure Success
4) Existing Research
5) Who Should I Interview?
6) Most Important User Story

30. Day 1: Understand
How To Measure Success
Goals Signals Metrics
Happiness
Engagement
Adoption
Retention
Task Success

31. Day 1: Understand
User Stories

32. Day 2: Diverge
1) Separate user story into unique problems.
2) Generate lots of solutions for each chunk.
3) Analyzed ideas that emerge. Find connections.
4) Generate new solutions based on these ideas.
5) Choose what itches for more development.
6) Storyboard 3 different flows that meet user story.
7) Get feedback.

33. Day 2: Diverge
Generate Lots of Solutions

34. Day 3: Decide
1) Conflicts: did I solve the same problem different ways?
2) Test several against each other, or choose the best?
3) What are my biggest assumptions?
4) Script test based on settling conflicts & assumptions.
5) Sketch storyboard of user with your prototype.

35. Day 4: Prototype
1) Aim for minimum fidelity for an accurate test.
2) Use real text/content. Lorem ipsum is useless.
3) Seek out feedback at several points.
4) Complete test is more important than beauty.

40. Day 5: Validate
1) What are my conflicts and assumptions to be tested?
2) Script my test to make sure I get to everything.
3) Have someone else take notes or record the test.
4) Run 5-6 interviews to start seeing patterns.
5) Figure out what did and did not work.
6) Determine what the next test is going to be.

42. Next week at AUX…
1) Presentations are 10 minutes each.
2) We want to see your process.
3) Insights and experiences that changed your
point of view are important.
4) Describe how the prototype you arrived at will
allow you to test a big assumption.
5) Discuss what you think you’d do next.
