## What it is
A collection of open-source guide documents from thoughtbot for running a five-phase product design sprint (Understand, Diverge, Converge, Prototype, Test). It is now deprecated in favor of thoughtbot's newer online sprint guide.

## Use cases
- run a product design sprint
- learn how design sprints work
- facilitate a product design workshop
- validate a product idea quickly
- structure a five-day design sprint
- prepare a team for a new product kickoff

## When to choose
- you want a free, detailed phase-by-phase playbook for facilitating a design sprint
- you are learning design sprint methodology from a practitioner's perspective

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained or supported guide - the repo is explicitly deprecated
- you want software or tooling rather than written documentation
- you need the latest thoughtbot methodology, which lives in their new sprint guide

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, education, tutorials
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: design-sprint, design-thinking, product-design, workshop-guide, deprecated
