Don't let your assumptions lead the way. It is better to know. User research practices can help you answer some of the most important questions about your new or existing product or service. And yes, it can be quite fast especially when it takes the form of research sprints. As an analog practice to design sprints, research sprints can help product teams to test assumptions and hypotheses with real people while reducing the risks of launching a product that customers don’t value or understand.
We offer an online course on running your own research sprints that will help you to answer tough questions and create better products or services. The course will take place over 3 weeks and will be conducted as a hands-on workshop with templates, group-based exercises & activities that can be directly applied to your own projects. Seats are limited to 12 people.
Please note: If you have additional questions specific to a particular project you're working on, you can request a one-on-one consulting session after the completion of this course.
