Design Sprint

What is
Design Sprint

Design Sprint at Uptech is a four-day process for creating new products or improving existing ones. Brainstorm ideas, create the product strategy, build the prototype and validate it with real users in just a few days rather than months.

Design Sprint is inspired by Google and validated by the most innovative companies in the world, such as Slack, Uber, Airbnb, LinkedIn, or McKinsey!

Design Sprint at Uptech embraces the Lean principles and the Design Thinking approach in a practical step-by-step workshop week.
