Pick a Target

Neha Saigal
Founder & CEO of N5

Picking a target is a design sprint method that helps the team narrow down on a focus for the sprint. This exercise is all about finding the point in the customer journey that is most critical to get right. It’s where the highest risk of failure and biggest opportunity for success lies. The rest of the sprint flows from this decision.
