What is design sprint in design thinking?

Design sprint is a collaborative and time-bound process that follows design thinking principles to solve complex problems and generate innovative solutions. It involves a team of diverse individuals working together to identify a problem, ideate potential solutions, create prototypes, and test and validate the prototypes with users in a short period of time, usually five days. The process is structured and facilitated by a trained design sprint master, with each day dedicated to a specific task, such as mapping the problem area, generating ideas, and creating prototypes. The design sprint process helps teams to rapidly iterate and converge on a solution that is feasible, desirable, and viable, resulting in faster and more effective innovation.
