ah okay, thanks for clarification, now I understand, because from my point of view, it has nothing to do with the waterfall process modell and for me, it was just misleading here. But just my five cents :) But now I got your point.

Haha yeah, a Design Sprint is in reality kind of the OPPOSITE of a typical waterfall process. The point is that you come together as a team to align, co-create and collaborate intensely.

I just needed a 'surprising' analogy to get my point across that some steps in a sprint delivered as an agency is quite different from how it's done in the Jake Knapp-book.

Thats very insightful mate, thanks a lot for sharing. I just have one question. I dont get this waterfall analogy. Why you call this a waterfall process? Maybe you can explain this!? Thanks

I should have visualized it better. What I meant is that the activities in the sprint is sequential. We first have to make decions with the team. Then the waterfall trickles down to me when I start prototyping. And only until I am done with the prototype, the waterfall trickles down to the researcher.

The next activity can’t start until the previous one is complete – like a waterfall project 😅 Only we’re talking days, not weeks and months per activity.
