Research Sprints for Impact

Do you work with someone who insists that research takes too long? Watch the replay of the Guild's session with Leanne Waldal and learn the best way to conduct research sprints.

​Leanne shows how research sprints can boost the impact of your findings and help you gather insights regularly, without sacrificing quality. By leveraging this method, practitioners can complete research cycles faster, increase the impact of findings, and collaborate with design, product, and development teams more effectively.

​Leanne demonstrates the detailed process (adaptable to your organization), and illustrates how a collaborative team is more efficient and better able to prioritize the research resources needed to inform new feature innovation.
