Design Sprint - Thursday (Prototype)

• Write interview script. The Interviewer prepares for Friday's test by writing a script.

• Remind customers to show up for Friday's test. Email is good, phone call is better.

• Buy gift cards for customers. We usually use $100 gift cards.

Key Ideas :

• Prototype mindset. You can prototype anything. Prototypes are disposable. Build just enough to learn, but not more. The prototype must appear real.

• Goldilocks quality. Create a prototype with just enough quality to evoke honest reactions from customers.

• Pick the right tools. Don't use your everyday tools. They're optimized for quality.
  Instead, use tools that are rough, fast, and flexible.

• Divide and conquer. Assign roles: Maker, Stitcher, Writer, Asset Collector, and Interviewer. You can also break the storyboard into smaller scenes and assign each to different team members.

• Prototype!

• Prototype!

• Stitch it together. With the work split into parts, it's easy to lose track of the whole. The Stitcher checks for quality and ensures all the pieces make sense together.

• Do a trial run. Run through your prototype.
  Look for mistakes. Make sure the Interviewer and the Decider see it.

• Finish up the prototype.
