“…It was also mentioned that, "It is necessary to use tools, such as design thinking [14], design sprint [17] and the Cynefin framework [20], which are able to capture business needs and identify the indicators considered to have the greatest impacts on the execution of services". It was found that, in fact, these tools were able to capture business needs and establish a ranking of indicators to be optimized, based on experience and feedback from interested parties.…”

“…In this work we propose a model for defining and prioritizing IT indicators, within a context related to agile software development, using specific mechanisms and tools for decision making and focusing on the end user, such as design thinking-which refers to the cognitive, strategic and practical processes by which design concepts (proposals for new products, buildings, softwares, etc.) are developed by designers and/or design teams [14][15][16]; design sprint-an exercise in five phases restricted by time to reduce the risks involved in bringing a software product to market [17][18][19]; and the Cynefin framework -a tool that guides professionals' decision making by analyzing the context in which that decisions are made [20,21]. For this purpose, we have identified in the literature and industry indicators, and we validated them in a real context of agile software development.…”

A Model for the Definition, Prioritization and Optimization of Indicators

Context: The definition and prioritization of indicators is now a common reality and an integral part of the evolution of the strategic, technical and business processes of any organization, whether public or private. Purpose: This paper proposes a new model regarding the definition and prioritization of indicators. Herein, we also investigate the definition and prioritization models currently adopted by academia and industry, and analyze the context of the proposed strategies against the traditional view of indicator definition currently adopted. In addition, we conducted a survey with organizations that had well-defined indicator management processes, seeking to identify customer expectations with a new indicator management model proposed by this work. Method: To gather evidence, we defined a methodology that relates the literature review and an exploratory case study with the application of an experiment. Driven by a set of research questions, this methodology comprised four main phases: planning, literature review, experiment execution and documentation of results. The method used is supported by some techniques, such as design thinking, design sprint and the Cynefin framework. Results: The analysis of the results was carried out in two different ways: Through the verification of the achievement of specific objectives and through a questionnaire applied to assess the degrees of perception of all employees who participated in the work. Regarding the specific objectives, it is clear that most of the objectives were achieved. Regarding the applied questionnaire, it is clear that, although the collaborators did not have adequate knowledge regarding the conceptual and practical aspects of some approaches used in the proposed model, there was a general perception that the model, in fact, supported top management for decision making. For professionals, the proposed model has a restricted scope; that is, it does not serve all types of organizations. Conclusion: The model proposed in this work proved to be effective, considering that the indicators were defined, prioritized and optimized, with a focus on the user experience. As future work, we intend to expand the scope of the model’s performance, evaluating business indicators alongside IT indicators.

“…Design sprints are problemsolving and innovation events but are specifically tailored to a particular organisational context, typically operating on a shorter time scale. These well-planned processes employ a variety of steps and tools to generate creative solutions and test them (Ferreira and Canedo, 2019), all facilitated by a team of design sprint participants. With a predefined time-based limitation, design sprints offer a dynamic approach to problem-solving (Banfield et al, 2015), reflecting design iterations, where an outcome is expected to be produced within a set timeframe that includes repetitions or cycles (Banfield et al, 2015).…”

The integration of design sprints as active learning tools within PBL approaches has been explored across various domains, including computer programming (Ferreira and Canedo, 2019), UX/UI design, and design and product development (Huić et al, 2023). Despite its increasing popularity, there is a gap in design research regarding the understanding of how design sprints influence design activities within project-based courses.…”

Design sprints complement traditional teaching methods, especially in project-based learning courses. While this approach can potentially change Computer-Aided Design (CAD) usage, it is still underexplored. Therefore, this study explores the influence of design sprints on embodiment-focused CAD activities in project-based learning by examining differences in patterns of CAD user actions, focusing on design space and action types. The case involves two higher-graded and two lower-graded student design teams monitored with a non-invasive method across a two-day design sprint event.

“…This is complicated further when integrating this into higher education setting, especially within product design education where cohort sizes can vary from 50-150 students. Integrating design sprints into the classroom as a way of exploring new active learning tools for project-based learning approach has been utilised by academics in various sectors ranging from human computing, UX/UI design, engineering, industrial design, amongst others [3][4][5]. However, many researchers note that it is important that design sprint activities are run in a timely manner in order to rapidly focus product innovation to drive more valuable outcomes for the user [5].…”

How can you deliver innovative teaching to over 150 students to propel their learning, connect them with leading industry experts, solve real world problems, and offer students the chance to learn from their peers across year groups? This paper presents the Design Sprint project; an intense five-day event delivered in 2020/21. This project engaged product design students from Nottingham Trent University (NTU), a team of over ten academics, clients from an industrial design team (Futura Nova), a large healthcare institution (UCL Partners), in addition to partnering with Anglia Ruskin University, to engage with focus groups within healthcare. This paper outlines the preparation and facilitation of the design sprint, identifying why we chose this methodology despite the challenges of remote/online working. The preparation/pre-sprint sessions and the key components of the sprint are discussed, highlighting how we adapted the traditional design sprint model into a hybrid methodology. The activity plan shares the key activities undertaken with examples of the Miro workbooks. Our approach was to build a programme that we could utilise going forward in online or in-person settings, to further develop the product design curriculum at NTU. Our main aim in delivering this methodology was for different year groups to work together in a live collaborative project whilst sharing/learning knowledge from a professional industrial network when utilising a methodology which could be applied in their future professional practice.
