[ prelude窶云 You need to choose a big problem. Build your story! Design a unique experience users never dreamt of. Discover a customer & addictive solution that is scalable! You will survive only if you act as a team! Find shortcuts, copy, use existing resources to be agile. Act like a guerrilla warrior, resources are scarce. Engage mentors to solve the big problem. Goals are dreams with deadlines.

[ wednesday ] You’ll need to choose a big problem, gather your team, ­clear your calendars, and gather some essential supplies. And you’ll need deadlines. Use the Slack app to plan your work. On the first day your team will “unpack” everything they know. Expertise in most teams is asymmetrical: marketers know things engineering & design doesn’t. All team members can contribute to each function even though one may be the lead. Start by creating a simple user story, and set the scope for the week. » „How might we”: The secret phrase top innovators use Harvard Business Review. » Google Ventures’ secret mantra for super-productive meetings Fast Company.

[ thursday ]  problems & pains You strive to identify the problems & pains that are most relevant to customers. Your next step is to provide evidence that ­ customers care about your solution ­(products & services). If you don’t find the ­evidence you need to design a new solution.

to provide the evidence you run the tests » Google Trends to understand what people s­ earch for in your business domain » Google Adwords Keyword Planner gives you information on how companies ­promote their solutions (discover their value p ­ ropositions) in your business area » Contact your customers directly – either f­ ace-to-face, by email, phone or social media channels » Build trackable landing page (Instapage) for your products & services to collect leads of f­uture users

[ friday ] build a prototype in just 2h

test your prototype

Plan for doing the impossible: build an entire realistic-looking prototype in just two hours. Like George Clooney in Ocean’s Eleven, you’ll gather a team of experts, assign roles, and put your plan into motion. And just like in the movie, you’ll get the job done and still have time to enjoy your evening. It’s a great story!

On Friday, you’ll show your prototype to real customers

» The 8 steps to creating a great storyboard Fast Company

1 paper prototype » Draw a storyboard – a scenario of when and how your c­ ustomer is using your product (use Postit-it Notes) » Choose max 1-2 features that you want to test with your ­prototype

By the end of the day, all your ideas will have been exposed to oxygen – some will be smash hits, while others will meet an early end. When a prototype flops, it means you have spotted critical flaws after only three days of work. There are ca 26,000 new product introductions each year. 70% of success is how meaningful and unique is the product for the customer. The key to success is rapid cycles. » Present your prototype on Social Media, ask for feedback and use #ptw16 » Ask your target group about your prototype with a typeform

» Use paper UI elements to design your solution (based on your storyboard and chosen features)

» Got a bright idea? Test it with a rapid-fire user study Fast Company

» Start testing your prototype with customers immediately, ­continue over the coming weekend

PLAN


[ sunday ] Every startup needs access to capital, whether for funding product development, for initial rollout efforts, acquiring inventory, or paying that first employee. The most successful entrepreneurs are the ones who think creatively, not only about their offering, but also about how to acquire cash. They have to sell themselves, more than their product, to close on every alternative source of funding. Check out all the alternatives:  Bootstrapping  Friends and family
