Design Sprint Facilitator training

Why take our Design Sprint Facilitator course?

Most meetings are a waste of time.
‍
Meetings that could have been an email, Slack message or could have been spend on doing the actual work instead.

But the Design Sprint is different. In four days you and your team follow a proven recipe that helps you get from big idea, to validated prototype.

A Design Sprint Facilitator is the guide in this process, setting the team up for success.

This course will teach you how to facilitate engaging (virtual) Design Sprints, that will help you team to solve problems, brainstorm ideas and make decisions. Skills and exercises that you can apply in your day-to-day work.

Facilitated 70+ Design Sprints

Curriculum

Learn-by-doing with a modern remote work curriculum

Our Program is setup to make you learn remote work step-by-step with a practical curriculum that focuses 100% on learn-by-doing. Unlike a lot of online courses who are just a bunch of videos, our Program teaches you the latest tools, workflows, and best practices.

Make hybrid working team agreements

Week 1

In the first week, you'll get to dive in and design your own Perfect Week while working location-independent, and apply parts of it to your own week. This is like putting on your oxygen mask first, before helping the others around you. It gives you the confidence and skills to solve any problem when it comes to working distributed.

Design your own perfect week
Set daily goals that don't burn you out
Doing weekly reviews to never forget anything
Capture all this in your personal Operating System in Notion

Remote communication & collaboration

Week 2

In week two you will focus on asynchronous communication, to create more flexibility, freedom, and better outcomes for yourself and your team. You'll be practicing to communicate asynchronously with your team, with text, audio, and video. By the end of the week, you have team agreements on what communication needs to be real-time and what can be done async.

Documenting everything (yes, everything)
Choose your tools for effective real-time communication
Using text, audio and video for asynchronous communication
Establishing a remote company culture

Turn meetings into (remote) workshops

Week 3

In the third week you'll apply your future of work skills to create and run your own Remote Workshops. You'll create your first workshop on your own, using agile methodologies to organise and plan your workshop. By the end of the week you'll have three workshops you can run with your team.

Create engaging online retrospectives to improve every week
Learn how to run User Story Mapping sessions in MURAL
Running asynchronous workshops to be innovative and flexible
Test your workshops and improve your online facilitation skills
