Innovation sprint: build

The build phase of an innovation sprint is the part where you actually make the thing. You already have a problem, a sketch, and a plan — now your job is to turn that plan into something a real person can try. The trick is that builds always take longer than you expect, so the engineers who finish on time are not the fastest typists; they are the ones who pick the smallest working version, save often, test as they go, and ask for help before they get stuck for an hour.

What this lesson teaches

1Prototype the smallest working version of an idea before adding extras
2Time-box each task and ask for help when stuck for too long
3Save and commit work often so progress is never lost
4Test as you go and pivot when a step is fully blocked
