Quick-guide introductions to LEAN UX/CX business UI-prototyping

Rapid Prototyping 1 of 3:
Sketching & Paper Prototyping

Mariam Shaikh and Melissa Powel talk about sketching and paper prototyping. Have you ever struggled with how to get from an idea to a high fidelity prototype? Every design has to start somewhere and even at Google we often start with low fidelity prototyping options such as sketching and paper prototyping. After all, the fidelity of your prototype should match the fidelity of your idea, so stop worrying and start sketching.

Digital Prototyping

Chris Conover and Parteek Saran talk about digital prototyping. Have you ever struggled to explain your idea during a pitch, while working with your team, or testing a concept with users? Digital prototyping allows you to rapidly explore an idea by building interactive experiences that run on real devices — no coding required.

In this video you’ll learn:
 

  • What digital prototyping is and when to use it

  • Examples of prototypes built using the tools

Native Prototyping

Carl Sziebert and Kaushal Shah discuss native prototyping and how to bring ideas to life by coding on native platforms and SDKs. Want to unlock the full hardware functionality for your explorations? Need to test how motion, animation, interaction and moments of delight come together to shape an experience for your users? With native prototyping you can build a realistic version of your idea, start validating your design direction and start pitching to the world!

In this video you’ll learn:​
 

  • How to start exploring ideas with technology by coding on native platforms and SDKs

  • Importance of validating your direction with users on real devices

  • How to use prototyping to communicate and sell your vision

Design Sprint Explained in 1 Minute

The Design Sprint is a way to solve critical business questions in only five days using design, prototyping and feedback from real customers. Developed at Google Ventures (GV), it’s a “greatest hits” of business strategy, innovation, behavior science, design thinking, and more. All combined, it’s an intense effort conducted by a small team, where the results will set the direction for a product or service. 

DESIGN SPRINT 2.0
- THE TUESDAY MORNING DECISION

So, after a jam packed day one where the team completed the expert interviews, mapping and built initial concepts, it's time to make the big decision. In this video, Brittni (from AJ&Smart) breaks down the 5 steps in the decision-making process on the Tuesday of the Design Sprint 2.0 and gives some HOT tips for moderating/facilitating this section of the Sprint. Hope you find it helpful! Watch all our Design Sprint 2.0 videos for an in-depth guide! 

HOW TO SELL THE DESIGN SPRINT

So you have spent all this time studying the design sprint & now you know it inside out! BUT HOW DO YOU SELL IT? Brittni breaks that all down for you with five tips on how to sell a design sprint!
