About this listen
Entrepreneurs and leaders face big questions every day. How should you be focusing your efforts? What will your idea look like in real life? How do you start? How many meetings and discussions does it take before you can be sure you've got the right solution? Now there's a surefire way to answer these important questions: the sprint.
Created by three partners at Google Ventures, the sprint is a unique five-day process aimed at helping businesses to answer crucial questions and deliver the best results in the least time, allowing the businesses to move on to the next level. It's a 'greatest hits' of business strategy, innovation, behaviour science and design thinking - packaged into a battle-tested process that any team can use.
Jake Knapp created the five-day process at Google, where sprints were used on everything from Google Search to Chrome to Google X. With John Zeratsky and Braden Kowitz at Google Ventures, the team has run more than 100 sprints with start-ups across all kinds of business, including mobile, e-commerce, health care and finance.
Sprint is about arming your business with a process to get problems solved by short-circuiting the endless debate cycle, avoiding groupthink and utilising the people, knowledge and tools that every team already has. It's for companies or groups of any size, from small start-ups to Fortune 100s, from teachers to nonprofits - anyone who has a big opportunity, problem or idea and who needs to get started.

As such I found the detours into sprint stories and detail on some techniques on the long side.
That said, it’s a very easy listen and if you’re less familiar with a user centred design process there’s lots of inspiration and encouragement here.
I’m now confident I know all I need to know to run a successful sprint.

You'll note that the 3 authors are all men, maybe they need a mirror before preaching an all women message to the rest of us! It distracts from the method and is relentless. 20 years ago it would have cool, trendy and thought provoking. Now it is just irritating and preachy.
Get past that, and there is REAL GOLD here!
I am in IT, use agile, work on product, have an MBA, keep up on things (generally) but think the ideas in this are gold. PLUS it is practical and instructive, not just "floaty in the clouds". It is anti-group think, which is great!
I havent finished this yet, but I think it is my favorite audio book now. Don't let the cover put you off. It put me off, which is probably why I ignored it until a sale came up. Now I feel slightly guilty that I got it at such a good price!
Amazing book & method. For women only apparently!
