Design Thinking is an iterative innovation method at the beginning of the innovation process. It focuses on the affected user and identifies his or her pain points, deficits and problems. The second part consists of generating solutions through a wide variety of creative techniques, prototyping them with the simplest of materials, and immediately counter-testing whether the prototype's features solve the user's problem.
The design sprint is a rapid innovation boost, condensing months into a week. Developed by Google Ventures, it merges Design Thinking, strategy, and behavior science for quick, actionable insights and speeds up the path to informed decisions and impactful solutions. Here's the sprint breakdown:
Monday: Map the problem.
Tuesday: Sketch solutions.
Wednesday: Choose the best.
Thursday: Craft a prototype.
Friday: Test with real customers.

Scrum is a dynamic agile framework that empowers teams to tackle complex challenges. Guided by a Scrum Master, it follows a rhythmic cycle:
1. Product backlog: A Product Owner organizes tasks into a prioritized list.
2. Sprint: A cross-functional team transforms tasks into valuable Increments within a fixed timeframe.
3. Inspection: The team and stakeholders review outcomes, fostering continuous improvement.
4. Adaptation: Insights drive adjustments for the next sprint.
This iterative process ensures collaboration, skill-sharing, and swift responsiveness, making Scrum a powerful tool for modern project management.
