The Design Impact Workshop delivers a fast, lean, and proven process for designing new applications and/or improving how existing applications work. You’ll walk away with the roadmap you’ll need to design and build the product your customers will love to use.
The process is fast and lean because we've distilled it down to a few essential activities, allowing us to design a great product cost-effectively.
We’ve added flexibility to the process that allows us to add UX activities if needed, helping control cost by only performing design work that adds value to the project.
At the end of the process, you will have a product backlog with accurate design and ballpark development estimates managed tightly using the agile framework.
Build Consensus and Define Objectives
We kick off the Design Impact Workshop by bringing your team together for our Stakeholder Product Vision workshop. This is where we clarify objectives, build consensus, and create a shared product vision. With open communication and collaboration, we refine the problem statement and align everyone, setting the foundation for a successful, agile project.
Unlocking the User Experience
We'll define the customer journey for your product's users, identifying their workflows, needs, and pain points. This user-driven approach uncovers valuable insights that inform the product's design and functionality, ensuring the final solution addresses real-world challenges and enhances the user experience.
Plan and Estimate for Success
We'll break down user flows into a prioritized product backlog, allowing us to plan and estimate subsequent design and development timelines cost-effectively. By understanding the scope and requirements, we can efficiently manage the project within the agile framework, ensuring the successful delivery of a high-quality product that meets your expectations.

The Design Impact Workshop is perfect for startups, IT organizations, and product companies looking to build a new product from scratch or improve how an existing product works.
The duration of the Design Impact Workshop depends on the scope of the project. Typically, it can be completed within 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the project's size and complexity.
Collaboration with our clients is critical to the success of the Design Impact Workshop process. We'll do the heavy lifting and only require approximately 3-4 hours of your or your team's time each week. This ensures we stay aligned with your vision and can deliver a product you and your customers will love.
The DIW is a lean approach to designing great products cost-effectively, with a focus on essential activities that deliver maximum impact. Unlike traditional UX approaches that can be heavy-weight in user research, we take an as-needed approach to keep the process lean and efficient.
