Design Ops & Handoff
Operational processes that make design teams effective — sprints, handoff, rituals, documentation, and quality assurance.
Design Sprints
A 5-day process for solving big problems and testing ideas before committing engineering resources. Based on Jake Knapp's Sprint methodology developed at Google Ventures.
When to Sprint
| Signal | Sprint Is Right | Sprint Is Wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Problem clarity | Big problem, unclear solution | Solution already known — just build it |
| Stakes | High — wrong direction costs months | Low — easy to course-correct later |
| Team alignment | Disagreement on approach | Team already aligned |
| Time pressure | Need answers this week | Can run a longer discovery process |
| Complexity | Cross-functional problem | Single-discipline task |
