Sprint layout usa4/1/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() The proposal we wrote to ISSI was to study how energy from the Sun reaches and disrupts the near-Earth space environment. This article shares advice and lessons learned from my experience leading the first of two design sprint–inspired meetings-held this past February at ISSI’s headquarters in Bern, Switzerland-that could be relevant across scientific disciplines. ![]() The scope of challenges confronting the project seemed similar to those that Google and other product developers face, so I decided to test whether the sprint could work for space science. That’s a question a colleague and I entertained recently after finding out our proposal to the International Space Science Institute ( ISSI) to lead a team on an ambitious and fast-paced project (not quite a loonshot, but not far off) studying the space environment had been accepted. According to GV (formerly Google Ventures), which developed the concept, the design sprint is “a ‘greatest hits’ of business strategy, innovation, behavior science, design thinking, and more.”ĭesign sprints have primarily been employed by companies, but could this approach be useful for, say, the Earth and space science community? Even a cursory glance at how Google operates will uncover the secret sauce behind many of their innovative ideas and products: the design sprint, a regimented 5-day process intended to accelerate progress toward key business questions, product development, or other goals. ![]()
