WHAT IS
PRODUCT DESIGN?
Product Design is the process of creating a new
product to be sold by a business to its customers.
A very broad concept, it is essentially the efficient
and effective generation and development of ideas
through a process that leads to new products.

THE DESIGN SPRINTGoogle Ventures Design Team
5 DAY
process for answering critical business
questions through design, prototyping,
and testing ideas with customers.
MONDAY: UNPACKOn the first day of the sprint, your team will “unpack”
everything they know. Expertise and knowledge on
most teams is asymmetrical: Sales knows things
engineering doesn’t, customer support knows things
design doesn’t, and so on.
TUESDAY: SKETCHDuring Sketch day, your team will work individually to
draw detailed solutions on paper. As you sketch,
everyone works separately to ensure maximum
detail and depth with minimum groupthink.
WEDNESDAY: DECIDENow you’ll have over a dozen solutions to choose
from. That’s great, but it’s also a problem, because
you can’t prototype and test a dozen solutions. You’ll
have to narrow down and make tough decisions.
THURSDAY: PROTOTYPEYou’ll spend Thursday in the flow, being ridiculously
productive, building an entire realistic-looking
prototype in just eight hours.
FRIDAY: TEST
On Friday, you’ll show your prototype to real customers
in 1-on-1 interviews. By the end of the day, your ideas
have all been exposed to oxygen — some will be
smash hits, while others will meet an early end.
