Virtual Design Sprint
Originally, in the Design Sprint, I think all members have to sit in the same room, attend at the same time, and run all Design Sprint activities together.
However, we achieved an interesting task, running a Virtual Design Sprint together !
It’s an amazing journey this week. Let’s see what we did !
Our Team
It’s our team ! our members locate from Philippines, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan.
Fortunately, we are almost in the same timezone, so we didn’t have the time zone issue, but we still have to solve remote working problems. That’s why we use Mural
Mural
Mural is an online tool for the discussion visually anywhere and anytime, so we almost did all the activities on our Mural Board.
Expert Interviews
We listened to the Expert Interviews offline in advanced, and talked about the How Might We questions together online.
Long Term Goal
in 2 years, what is our goal with the most optimistic mind.
Sprint Questions
What things could stop us getting there ?
Map
Before we create new ideas, everybody should be on the same page, so we discovered the current map.
Then we decided the Sprint Scope
Lightning Demo
Before we create new ideas, we need to study others’ ideas first.
If I have been able to see further, it was only because I stood on the shoulders of giants.

4 Part Sketching
We did the 4 Part Sketching offline. These are my drafts
Votes on Personal Solutions
We pushed our personal solution on our Mural Board, and voted on the winning solution.
User Test Flow
After deciding the winning personal solution, we began to think about the user test flow based on this solution.
Storyboard
We created the final user test flow and proposed the story board. However, we just created the stories here in this stage, but it’s fine. Our designer is very excellent ! They built the prototype based on this story board.
Prototype
Our designers did the good job for the prototype. What an amazing result !
User Test
We invited 5 testers for the product feedback
We noted all feedbacks on our Mural Board
Retrospective
On Friday, after we finish all activities, we still ran the Retrospective for next improvement.
Amazing Journey
It’s an amazing journey. I have never tried the Virtual Design Sprint before, but we did it, and we did a good job!
This week, I experienced the awesome Virtual Design Sprint, and knew our cool partners, and learnt a lot from them. In addition, I also come up with one cool idea for Design Sprint Business Model !
Anyway, Thank you, my partners, and the host of this Virtual Design Sprint Project, Robert. Thank you Robert. You let me experience an amazing week.
Thank you !
It’s all our partners. Even though we are not in the same room, we work together just like in the same room, and like in the same physical team, because we have the same goal.
I feel so good for co-working with these Design Sprint experts. We all know the process, and don’t hesitate about what we should do. That’s why we did a good job. What an amazing week !
