Discovery Sprint Kit
Run a focused one-week discovery sprint. Problem framing, user interviews, opportunity mapping, solution sketching, and validation planning.
A discovery sprint is a time-boxed week of intensive customer research and problem validation. This kit provides the five templates you need to run a complete discovery sprint from Monday to Friday. By the end of the week, you will have validated (or invalidated) your assumptions.
