When should this session be delivered?
Prototyping is where all the ideas come to life. This is perfect for providing a framework that enables your team to design a prototype together. Storyboarding locks in our prototyping plan, which we have to execute in one day. This recipe allows various makers to contribute to a digital prototype in parallel, which leads to building deeper and more involved prototypes.
Who can facilitate it?
Facilitating this session does not require any special certification, however, it is highly useful if you have a good understanding of the Design Sprint framework. Familiarity with design tools and a good acumen for team dynamics will help a facilitator keep everyone productive during prototyping. Want tips on running this remotely?
