Design Sprint
A design sprint is a collaborative, structured and time-constrained process used to define, prototype, and test ideas or solutions to complex problems within a few days.
Delivery is executed by a vetted expert specialised on this gig.
Problem Identification and Goal Setting
Define the problem and set specific goals to ensure the team focuses on the right challenges and objectives.
Ideation and Concept Development
Brainstorming sessions to generate a wide range of ideas and concepts. Select the most promising ideas for further development in the sprint.
Rapid Prototyping
Create a low-fidelity prototype of the selected concept. The prototype should be functional enough to convey the idea and gather user feedback.
User Testing and Iterations
Conduct user testing sessions with the prototype to collect insights and reactions from real users. Analyze the feedback and iterate to refine the concept.
We are looking for an experienced facilitator to lead a design sprint for our new fintech product. The goal is to rapidly prototype and validate key features such as user onboarding, transaction tracking, and budgeting tools. We need someone who can guide our team through ideation, sketching, prototyping, and user testing within a week.

A tech gig is a mini-project with a clear and concise scope, is typically under 1 month, and requires an expert to execute. Gigs should ideally require little project onboarding time.
You can continue working with the expert who executed the gig on an hourly basis.
For projects over 2 months with more than 1 expert, fixed price gigs become impractical and we strongly recommend you to hire the expert(s) via upper.co, on a fixed monthly retainer or engage over an hourly 'time and materials' setup.
For every gig you will receive between 1 and 3 bids to review.
Payments are issued in 2 phase, with UPPER in the middle for security. The first payment of 50% is done upfront to start work. The second payment is done at the end after the work has been delivered.
