You can't just decide on a Thursday that next week you'll do a Design Sprint. You need to do a few things to make sure that you as a facilitator have everything you need to run a proper session and that your team is aligned on what you'll be working on.

We'll cover things like:
✅ Building a Sprint Team
✅ Scheduling your sessions
✅ Doing Problem Framing
✅ Creating a Remote Design Sprint Brief

Mastering preparation will give you the advantage of running a stellar Remote Design Sprint!
