What do you want to know about Remote Design Sprints?! Do you prefer Miro or Mural?! Share your questions, tips and insights in the comments below! Check out our expert panel discussion on Remote & Virtual Design Sprints here: ruclips.net/video/TSNR0wf9Qug/видео.html
I understand and like the format combining synced up sessions and homework sessions, and am currently planning a sprint (converting a planned in-person sprint to a virtual one). I am going on the hypothesis that the breakout groups composed of 5-6 strangers will have difficulty self-organizing and sharing talk time. The video speaks to "homework time", and I am curious how these groups actually fair.
The start on Friday approach is interesting to me, going to try to shift to that for an upcoming Sprint. Keeping with ending sections on a high note, Friday is to gut the problem down, Monday is to get to a sketch assignment and Tuesday is to get to the agreed upon storyboard. Do I have this right?
With UI kits, there's little need to sketch storyboards. You can mock up something 100x faster than hand-drawing a semi-legible/viewable screen. Instead, just click and drag low-fidelity elements that encompass the main idea. The goal isn't to get it perfect, the goal is to help align clients/stakeholders as to what should be built in the first place.
An idea I will test out will be to have clients click and drag a low-fidelity component/widget in Miro and click and drag them on the screen to what they envision. This is what front-end devs do with Balsalmiq from their first lessons anyways. talk about lighting fast designs. All the UX team will need to do after this, is to create the high-fidelity mockups and prototype it out. Gone are days when basic users don't know anything about UI's or web analytics.
And user journey maps are where most of the scene rendering should happen, not on UI storyboards. You can have fun with creating infographics for customer journeys, but capturing tasks and objectives and goals and opportunities are where that focus should be.
Thanks Rod, it works really well! Digital Whiteboards are actually an incredibly eco-friendly and legible way to structure projects! Well worth trying...
Great video thanks! Just some questions. 1 ) I don't see any reference to Concept Voting, Solution Presentation, Straw Poll and Decider vote in your MIRO template and I think you didn't mention it in the video. I imagine you are still doing it before user test flow step. Aren't you? Is it part of your 3 hr decision workshop with clients? 2) If all Concept in 4 parts exercises are offline... what do you do in 3hr solution workshop? THANKS A LOT!!!
@@AJSmart I'm a remote everything for years, as I'm based in Brasilia, my dev team is in Minas Gerais and most of my clients are in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Your videos helped me a lot in fine tuning my processes. Cheers
Hi guys. Do you change the DS time from 4 days to 2 weeks just for online version, don't you? i mean, if 'in-person' design sprints comes back eventually after Covid we can use the 4/5 days approach? Thanks
Great Video :). On your wall of justice legend, you have post-its labelled, "Highlight" and "Easy Fix". Can you explain when a note-taker would use these labels during a customer test? Thank you :)))
We can for sure do a video on basecamp. We reference it and show the project file in our Zero Design Sprint video: ruclips.net/video/AIpjJxDbAx0/видео.html
great content, always love it 👏👏 Quick question: been reading up a lot on design sprints and just wanted to know the ins and outs in terms of the value of facilitation for e.g. by an innovation studio such as your own. With so many free resources online, what are the benefits of having an external agency on board organizing sprints vs let's say a team inside a company deciding to try this out + how do innovation studios maintain their value proposition?. Thanks!
I have a question: When do you guys usually get paid for these sweet sweet sprints that you run? Is it full upfront? Has it always been like this? Thanks y'all!
We charge the same for remote as in-person as the value is exactly the same! Can't say specifics on costing, but we package them as 4 week blocks. Check this out! ruclips.net/video/7dVZFECivK8/видео.html
Thanks for the really helpful video! I just watched your Design Sprint Webinar. Based on your suggestion in your webinar, I signed up for Udacity to get your AJ&Smart class but I saw you have taken it down. Is it possible to sign up for it on another platform or access it somewhere else? Thanks so much!

I love Mural. I just don't think is so great for storyboarding. What do you use to draw wireframes remotely? Do you do it fully on Miro?

Question: if you don't (cannot) have access to a cool whiteboard tool like Miro or Mural, what can you do? Confluence? PowerPoint?
This was just awesome! Thanks for making it permanently available !
No problem Natalia! We have more content like this rolling out in the coming weeks too! Glad you enjoyed!
Amazing and mind Openning...👍
This was super super useful. 50 odd minutes of gold. Thanks AJS
Thanks Raghav! Glad you enjoyed it! Are you going to be running Remote Sprints?!
@@AJSmart Yeah. We use Miro too.

Thank you so much AJSmart for sharing your tips, you are the best !
Thanks so much Robin!
Golden! Loved that wall of justice too - very concise and as said great for spotting trends (more so than if interview notes are done on paper)
Thanks Rod, it works really well! Digital Whiteboards are actually an incredibly eco-friendly and legible way to structure projects! Well worth trying...
On your Wall of Justice, the Can We questions are listed at the bottom. Do you ask these questions to the test user as well?
WOW, thank you very much!
This is amazing
Thanks so much for sharing, very insightful and totally relevant. Thanks!
Thanks Thomas! Anything else you wanna see?!

Thanks Ricardo! Are you a Remote Sprinter?

😍 game changer in UX design
Thanks so much! Anything you want / need to see video wise from us soon?!

Many thanks! Would be really cool to grant an access to the miro project board... Thanks in advance!
We're releasing a pack today where you can access that! Check out our LinkedIn page in a few hours! www.linkedin.com/company/2560650/admin/
@@AJSmart I browsed through your AJ&Smart page in linkedin and couldn't find any pack, would it be possible to share the miro project board.
Thank you once again for an awesome content.. Any chance you could go over Basecamp and What the Sprint report should contain?
We can for sure do a video on basecamp. We reference it and show the project file in our Zero Design Sprint video: ruclips.net/video/AIpjJxDbAx0/видео.html
With Miro, how do you add on user to participate when you only need to allow them access for a short time? Is it based on your subscription type?
@26 Minutes How did you not map the outline show every single frame?
Thank you! Great content as always. I'm stealing this! Haha
Great to hear John! For sure, take whatever you need from it! We have more remote workshop videos coming up!

Hey Anne, thanks for the heads up! We'll take a look at this but it's more likely something on Udacity's side... Thanks for the heads up though!
Can you share the pre-sprint client survey?
I'll check in on that and get back to you! But you can also just note it down from the video, it's simply a template we send over!
AJ&Smart Alright thanks
"oh no no, fuck it" lol
very bad quality Vedio
