Solve your most urgent design and product challenges in just two weeks.

Accelerate your design process, reduce your time to market and take the risk out of launching new ideas with custom design sprints that unlock the full potential of your projects.

The Idea Validation Sprint

Validate a New Idea

You’ve got an idea, maybe a sketch on a napkin and you want to turn it into a product. Whether you’re starting from scratch or making sense of a sticky problem, get feedback and validate your idea quickly.

The Product Feature Sprint

Improve a Product

If you have a flow or funnel that’s not performing or you want to test an idea before building the Product Feature Sprint will generate prototypes quickly so you can improve your flows or test before you make changes.

The Rescue Design Sprint

Rescue a Product

Dive into your project’s challenges, pinpoint the issues, and create a focused, actionable plan that unlocks the potential of your team, digital product, app or website with a custom sprint.

MVPs

Launch a Test Product
The Futurebits MVP process is designed specifically for teams who need to bring an idea to market quickly, with an eye on limiting resources and keeping a tight budget. We focus on rapid prototyping and iteration, allowing you to test and refine your product with real users in just a few weeks.

What is a sprint?

A design sprint is a time-boxed process that lets you take on complex challenges through sketching, prototyping, and testing. The short time frame and the fact that it’s separate from your day to day helps break out of boxes, foster creativity and create alignment.

Design sprints provide a structured framework for identifying and addressing key challenges or opportunities, enabling teams to bring clarity and focus to complex problems.

Design sprints focus on rapid prototyping and user testing, allowing teams to quickly validate assumptions, gather feedback, iterate on potential solutions, meet user needs or expectations and reduce risks when developing products and features.

How It Works

These two-week sprints are designed to split between making and testing. While the specific activities we undertake vary based on your needs, typically the first week is focused on making, the second on getting feedback and drawing out insights.

During the two weeks we’ll do the heavy lifting, while your team dips in at critical points to drive the direction and give feedback. Working through design iterations we’ll help you align your team, validate ideas, learn quickly and move ahead with confidence no matter the stage of your product, app or website.

Free Call

Let’s hop on a 30-minute call where you can describe your challenge and we’ll discuss how we might structure a sprint tailored specifically for you and your team. If it feels like the right fit, we’ll design the sprint to address your unique needs.

Week 1

During the first week we’ll move quickly from clarifying the problem we’re going to tackle to translating ideas into a tangible form, turning concepts and sketches into a testable object. This process involves rapid design that leads to a concrete example that embodies the project’s objectives, setting the stage for in-depth evaluation.

Week 2

In the second week, we test and validate the artefacts through interviews with stakeholders and users. After each round of sessions we’ll record the feedback, extract insights and revise the screens. We’ll then synthesise what we’ve learned and apply it to a preferred flow and solution which we will hand off so your team can implement.

Codename Design entered into our project midstream, but through their strategic vision and ability to implement clear and focused design, to the pixel, analyzing and understanding a project at multiple levels, steered us to a product well beyond our expectations. They have become invaluable members of our project team.
