Let’s explore…
• What is Agile?
• What is Design Thinking?
• Design Thinking + Agile = ?

Design Thinking = Double Loop Learning?

Design Sprint, a DT framework by Google Ventures
• A framework for teams to solve and test design problems
• A five-day process to validate a prototype for a key problem
![Page 14: Design Thinking and Agile?](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052418/587d4dde1a28ab7c638b7c0b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DT + Agile = ?• DT addresses developing empathy about users and
exploring innovative solutions using divergent thinking and prototyping them iteratively and generating user feedback before zeroing-in to a possible solution, and might be perceived a bit too open-ended
• Agile addresses solving problems by incrementally and iteratively building thin slices of working software without explicitly realising how are those requirements really created
• Can they work together? What does it even mean?

Innovation inside Agile?• While nothing stops a team from experimenting ideas, agile
methodologies generally *expect* well-groomed backlog items
• Regular backlog grooming could help improve clarity and thus sprint planning, but it might still leave the backlog items unvalidated
• If design is still being worked upon in a sprint, it could lead to more rework or waste, and impact the velocity and predictability
• Who feeds items into the backlog? How are they validated?

Dual-Track Scrum• Not just the PO, but the entire team collaborates to quickly
prototype and validate the product backlog items before committing to build them
• Valuable (PO, BA)
• Usable (UX, Design)
• Feasible (Dev, QA)
• Dual tracks:
• Discovery Track: generate validated product backlog items
• Delivery Track: generate releasable software

Discovery vs. Delivery

Recap• Solving “unknown-unknown” problems requires exploring
newer solutions that might have never been tried
• Design Thinking helps address the “why”. We are not trying to answer if this product can be built, but what are the real pain points?
• Agile helps address the “how” part by building deliverables in short cycles that could accelerate the feedback cycle
• Combining them could create a complementary and win-win solution
