Based on the original Design Sprint process by Jake Knapp, a virtual design sprint takes the methodology into a remote environment. This allows for distributed collaboration and coordination with many different professionals at once.

I really think that conducting full days of remote workshops is impossible. My experience shows that after 1.5 to 2 hours of a remote workshop, the participants' attention decreases and fatigue appears. To maintain your Design Sprint and bring value with a distributed team the agenda must be adapted.My recommendation is therefore to stretch the number of days allocated to the Design Sprint up to 8 days. The agenda has been stretched to be more adapted to a distributed team. The workshops will be held in a 3-steps rhythm : Online introduction > Offline individual work > Online synchronization and merge

"Running a fully distributed/remote product design studio and network. Pioneered remote Design Sprints at AJ&Smart and now working on web3 products and how they can help our society exchange and transfer value. Trying to build something that will help us all stop seeing work as work but as something that brings joy along with financial stability.
Also love performing magic and creating frictionless interactions between humans and computers.
Love to chat about your product and ask me to show you a card trick when we meet! "

Voltage Control is a facilitation agency that helps teams work better together with custom-designed meetings and workshops, both in-person and virtual. Our master facilitators offer trusted guidance and custom coaching to companies who want to transform ineffective meetings, reignite stalled projects, and cut through assumptions. Based in Austin, Voltage Control designs and leads public and private workshops that range from small meetings to large conference-style gatherings. Every workshop is unique. We conceive & design what you need to do to get where you’re going, not what worked for someone else. We believe that you have the answers and solutions you need, so we design our workshops to help you extract them. Voltage Control was founded by Douglas Ferguson, an entrepreneur and technologist with over 20 years of experience. He is a master facilitator and the author of three innovation books: Beyond the Prototype, How to Remix Anything (Co-authored), and Start Within (Co-authored). Motivated by a mission to rid the world of horrible meetings and offer meaningful meetings in their place, Voltage Control is calling upon fellow facilitators to transform meeting and innovation culture. From free weekly community meetups to Control the Room–the annual facilitator summit, Voltage Control is building a community of facilitators to change the world. Popular Workshops: *Design Sprints–Align your team, build a prototype, and test it with 5 targeted users. *Innovation Acceleration–Explore then accelerate your biggest and boldest ideas. *Team Alignment–Align your team around a shared vision to tackle your biggest challenges. *Design Dashes–Rapidly co-create and prototype solutions with the team and customers *Meeting Systems–Redesign your meeting culture with better meeting (Source:Linkedin)
Voltage Control created a custom Mural template that helps the Stitcher work alongside the team to organize and gather the Design Sprint assets during prototyping.

🧑🏫 Pitch
📥. Backlog
New Haircut offers digital product strategy and training to enterprise teams. But first, we had to experience our own digital transformation... We started as a team of product managers, designers, and developers with a vision of building beautiful, perfectly-crafted products. Our hearts were in the right place but our process was broken. We poured all of our energy into things like Agile and lean. Still, the products we launched failed. On the other hand, we knew product strategy was important but believed that discovery, research, UX, and design thinking were tools for other types of people. F*#k it! we thought... and began experimenting. We relearned everything we knew about designing exceptional products. And from that point on, our team, process, and products we created were never the same. So designing and building products will always be where we came from. But these days, we’re much more excited to help your team learn and implement the process and tools, so you can experience the same digital transformation.

Video: When we’re working together we’ll meet over Zoom calls
Digital: We’ll use a digital whiteboard to collaborate & share ideas
