Miro and Design Sprint Academy

Design Sprint Academy has partnered with Miro to make remote workshops and design sprints simple and effective. Our Remote Design Sprint KIT uses easy-to-follow Miro boards, packed with ready-made templates, facilitation tips, and interactive presentations—making it easy to run engaging and productive sessions remotely.

We also use Miro in consultancy projects to visually explain complex problems clearly. Using tools like customer journey maps, ecosystem maps, service blueprints, and persona templates, we simplify complex ideas, ensuring everyone is aligned and working towards the same goals.

Together with Miro, we organize events and workshops open to Miro's vast community of product leaders, consultants, and facilitators. These sessions provide practical guidance on decision-making methods and rapid prototyping techniques, helping everyone learn, connect, and grow their innovation skills

Use Cases

De-risk Product Development

Launching new products can be risky without a clear understanding of market needs. Problem Framing helps teams quickly identify, clarify, and prioritize the right customer problems, reducing uncertainty. Design Sprints then rapidly validate solutions, ensuring your product effectively meets market demands.

Stakeholder Alignment and Decision-Making

Internal misalignment can stall decision-making and project momentum. Problem Framing aligns stakeholders by clearly defining and understanding core issues, while Design Sprints help teams rapidly develop validated solutions that address these critical challenges.

Innovation Funnel Management

Having too many ideas can overwhelm your innovation process. Problem Framing helps prioritize these ideas based on strategic alignment and real customer needs, while Design Sprints rapidly test their desirability.

New Ventures and Partnerships

Starting new ventures or partnerships requires stakeholder alignment on potential opportunities. Problem Framing clearly defines core challenges, providing a solid foundation for Design Sprints to validate and explore solutions quickly.
