0-to-1 Feature Design Sprint

A compressed 5-stage sprint that takes a fuzzy feature idea to a testable prototype plan.

PRACTICAL RESOURCE

# 0 to 1 Feature Design Sprint ## When to use When you have a new feature idea and need to move from fuzzy to testable fast. ## The workflow Guide me through a compressed five stage design sprint for a feature I describe. Run one stage at a time and wait for my input before moving to the next. 1. Frame. Restate the problem, the target user, and the one outcome that defines success. Surface the assumptions we are making. 2. Diverge. Propose three distinct solution directions, each with its core bet and its main trade off. 3. Decide. Help me choose one using a simple weighted comparison against the outcome, and name what we are giving up. 4. Prototype plan. Break the chosen direction into the key screens and states to design, and the single riskiest assumption to test. 5. Test plan. Write three realistic task scenarios and state what result would validate the idea and what would kill it. End with a one paragraph sprint summary I can share with the team. Keep each stage tight, and push back if my success outcome is actually an output rather than a result.
