Design Sprint Brief

The sprint brief will act as a guidepost for the team throughout the sprint.

Why it matters

The brief is the sprint’s contract: the challenge, the deliverables, the people in the room. Sprints that skip it spend day one discovering that everyone came to solve a different problem.
