Using Wardley Maps & Design Sprints for Better Product Outcomes
Learn how Wardley Mapping and Design Sprints can help your business plan winning strategies and deliver successful products that elevate your business to new heights.
About
A Wardley Map is a representation of the landscape in which a business (or anything, really) operates. It consists of a value chain (activities needed to fulfill user needs) graphed against evolution (a measure of how individual activities change over time under supply and demand competition).
A map represents the shared assumptions being made about a context and hints at what strategic options are available. By developing a common language to describe a context, mapping improves communication, helps us more clearly express our intent, and invites the challenge necessary to make things better.
The Design Sprint is a four-day step by step process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers. Developed by Jake Knapp at Google and Google Ventures, it’s a “Greatest Hits” of business strategy, innovation, Design Thinking, and Agile – packed into a proven process that any team can use.
Design Sprints offer a transformative formula for testing ideas that work whether you’re at a startup or a large organization. Within five days, you’ll move from idea to prototype to decision, saving you and your team countless hours and countless dollars.
