Whenever someone thinks of sprinting they think of the exhausting task of running as fast as you can. But have you ever heard of a design sprint? Well, it's sort of the same thing, except with your mind. In class we are partaking in a design sprint over a three day period. We are suppose to come up with a product or service that would be helpful to those 18-year-olds who are moving out of mom and dads house for the first time.
We have only conquered day one thus far and during that day we were only allowed to think of problems or issues these 18-year-olds might face, no solutions! Now I don't know about you, but it was very hard for me to think of a problem and not instantly think of how I can fix it; it definitely gave me a run for my money. These design sprints are very popular for finding a solution to a problem, and it is a very long journey to get from A to B, which I believe is what makes them so effective.
So far, during this process I can only think of one thing. Wow, it is so hard to try to create something that isn't already out there. There seems to be a product, app, or service for absolutely everything! But as a future marketer, that is something I'll have to adapt to. As I am approaching Day 2 of the design sprint I will keep you updated on what comes next!
