Design Sprints
Public sector organisations and charities face unique challenges. Limited resources, diverse stakeholders, and pressing social needs demand innovative solutions - fast. That's where our Design Sprint service shines.
A design sprint compresses months of work into a single week, helping you rapidly prototype and test new ideas. It's a powerful tool for tackling urgent issues, kickstarting stalled projects, or exploring new initiatives without burning through your budget.
What is a Design sprint?
A Design Sprint is a time-constrained, five-phase process that uses design thinking to reduce the risk when bringing a new product, service, or feature to the market. Developed by Google Ventures, we've adapted this methodology to suit the unique needs of purpose-driven organisations.
Why Choose a Design Sprint?
- Rapid results: Achieve in 5 days what would typically take months.
- Resource efficient: Minimise costs and maximise impact.
- Stakeholder alignment: Get everyone on the same page quickly.
- User-centred: Validate ideas with real users before full implementation.
- Risk reduction: Test concepts before significant investment.
Our Design Sprint Process:
- Day 1. Understand: Define the challenge and gather existing knowledge
- Day 2. Ideate: Sketch out solutions
- Day 3. Decide: Choose the best solution and create a storyboard
- Day 4. Prototype: Build a realistic prototype
- Day 5. Test: Get feedback from real users
Design sprints are a game-changer for public sector and charitable organisations.
They allow us to tackle complex challenges head-on, involve all stakeholders, and deliver tangible results in a matter of days.

I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Agile and have genuinely found them fantastic to work with. Our project manager was totally on the ball with keeping track of goals, tasks, timelines, budget etc. so that nothing got left behind. I felt the whole team actually cared about the outcome of the project as much as I did.
Whilst they kept me updated and acted as part of my team every step of the way, I was also able to trust that they could get on with the project without me when necessary. They gave clear advice on aspects of the project I was not so familiar with and listened to me on bits that I was. They approached the project in a structured way, starting with personas and user journeys before entering the design phase. I think you’d be hard pushed to find another whole team of people like this. I usually have one or two people within suppliers I use that I prefer to work with, but I would happily go to any team member at Agile and know that I would receive great service.
