Sprint Tips

1. If you get stuck, remember what you’re trying to learn.

2. It’s better to be done with something good enough than to be half-finished with a masterpiece. Remember that the goal is to learn from the user study tomorrow, not to have everything perfectly figured out and finished.

3. So one of the best things about the product design sprint is that it allows you to map out those decision points, and perhaps even to explore a few conflicting ideas in parallel instead of immediately committing to a safe choice.
