Innovation sprint: plan

An innovation sprint is a short, focused burst of creative work — usually one to two weeks — where a team moves from a fuzzy "wouldn\u2019t it be great if..." idea to a working prototype. The sprint only works if the team does careful planning first. Bad planning means the team argues about direction, duplicates effort, or builds something nobody wanted. Good planning means every member knows the problem, the goal, the idea, the tools, and their own milestones before the first line of code or first sketch is made.
