Hi again.

We've covered the

basics of sprint planning, now, let's build a five-day
design sprint brief. The sprint brief is a
document that you'll share with all of your attendees to help them prepare
for the sprint. Let's check out the things that make up a design sprint brief.
Start with the design
sprint challenge, this introduces your team
to the sprint objectives. Think back to the cycling
app from earlier. If you created a brief
for that sprint, the design challenge might be, build exciting new features for the
cycling app in time for
relaunch later in the year. Next, you need to identify
the key deliverables, meaning what your
team actually wants to create by the
end of the sprint. For the cycling app, you might say that
we want to have a complete prototype that
includes the feature update. Then it's on to logistics. First, everyone
participating in the sprint needs to know where
the sprint will happen and when it will be held. You also want to list who's
attending and the name
of the sprint leader. Usually the sprint leader is the person who sends out
the brief to the team. But, that's not always the case. If you want to designate
a sprint leader, you should do it before you
send out the sprint brief. Next, add approvers, got some higher-ups that need to
sign off on the
product before launch? This is the place to note it. If your cycling app needs the
official approval of
Miss Cycling Enthusiasts, CEO before launching, the sprint brief
should mention it. Your sprint brief should also include a list of resources. For
short-term sprints, there's probably a team already
assigned to this project. For long-term sprints, you may need to create a plan to
secure additional resources. For example, with
the cycling app, you might need to
assign resources from engineering to take on the work needed to launch
the new feature. Next, we have the
project overview where you should explain the current status of the project, call
out roadblocks
that stand in your way, state early wins
if you have any, and outline the
estimated launch plan. Finally, we wrap it all up
with the sprint schedule, an hour-by-hour schedule of the five-day sprint,
including break times. This lets people know what to expect and gives them time to
prep so that you can keep things moving along
during the sprint. And you're done, you've planned your desired sprint and
created your brief. The only thing left to do now is to put the
sprint in motion. If you're still a
little confused about what goes into the
design sprint brief, you'll find some great
examples in the readings. Onward. We will learn
about the role of an entry-level UX designer
in the sprint process.
