Sprint: how to solve big problems and test new ideas in just five days… by designer Jake Knapp, who created the 5-day process at Google Ventures in order to help Google initiatives and investments prototype and validate ideas as rapidly and effectively as possible.

The 5-day sprint is designed to iterate through these decisions and test different alternatives in a very compressed timeframe. Before even building a minimum viable product, the Sprint methodology shortcuts months of debate and development.
