WHAT WE DO
4
We believe in doing right by our team, our clients,
and our community in everything we do
We believe that the mental and physical wellness of our people leads
to better ideas, greater output, and lower expenses in the long run.
Since 2002 we’ve donated more than $750,000 in services to Chicago
nonprofits and organizations whose missions we support.
We don’t charge clients for bug fixes and prefer engagements where
we share project risk.

You may
recognize
our work
We’ve been proud technology
partners of Chicago Ideas for
many years. This year, we used a
Product Design Workshop to jump
start the redesign process.
Welcome to your first
Design Sprint!
Preview of Sprint
14
Who should be in there?
Decider
This person is going to make all of the tough calls throughout the week.
This must be someone who has enough context and organizational buy-in
that their decisions won’t be overturned. They should be there everyday
but must attend days 1 & 3.
Facilitator
This person is in charge of the schedule for the week and making sure
we’re progressing smoothly. This person must be there everyday.
Additional People
You’ll also need a few more people who can test & make the prototype,
write copy, contribute their subject matter expertise and/or knows the way
things get done in your organization.
15
How does it work?
Understand
We start off by
defining business
opportunity, the
target audience,
and mapping the
ideal experience.
Diverge
We’ll be guided
through a set of
hands-on sketching
exercises designed
to help us bring to
light the best ideas.
Decide
Time to get real.
We’ll focus on the
ideas we feel will
best solve the
business problem.
Prototype
This intensive day
is spent preparing
for the next day’s
interviews and
creating our
realistic façade.
Test & Learn
Our ideas are
finally tested in the
real world, by
actual users.

Understand

1
Ask the experts
Talk to one person at a time and take notes.
Make a map
Keep it simple, 5-15 steps is generally enough.
Table XI CIW Lab: behind the software
Not all experiences are
linear, choose the right
map for the problem.
Sometimes that means a combination of maps.
Table XI CIW Lab: behind the software
#SprintTip If your team loses
it’s way, revisit your map. It
may need to be redrawn
#CIWwithTXI
Pick a target
Choose a user type and experience to focus on

Diverge
day

Sketch divergent
concepts
Group think limits the diversity and quality of ideas,
so you’ll sketch alone.
Your sketches will look
like this …

Just kidding, they’ll
look more like this …

#SprintTip Fight fear of
sketching! If you can draw a
circle, triangle & box you can
sketch a website

Decide
day
3
Make sure the best
ideas win, not the best
sales person
You’ll choose the best concepts using silent reviews
and structured critique.
Table XI CIW Lab: behind the software
Turn the best ideas
into a storyboard

#SprintTip A great
storyboard makes prototyping
faster! #CIWwithTXI

day
4
A realistic façade is all
you need to learn from
your users.
Table XI CIW Lab: behind the software
For web sites and apps
try tools like Keynote
or PowerPoint, Invision
or Marvel, and UX Pin
#SprintTip Use pre-built
templates and UI kits to
speed up the prototyping
process #CIWwithTXI
43
Test & Learn
day
5
5 user interviews are
enough to reveal 

big insights
Conduct the interviews
1-on-1 using the 5 act
interview process
Don’t worry, we’ll explain this more later.
The team watches the
interviews and takes
notes from 

another room
Table XI CIW Lab: behind the software
#SprintTip What people is do
interesting but the thoughts,
feelings, and emotions behind
their actions are priceless.
#CIWwithTXI
Thank You
