Regardless of its medium, the facilitator should prepare extensively to make sure the sprint reaps the most benefits. Running a design sprint (physical or online) can be very beneficial for the conceptualization of new ideas, defining the problem and scope of a project and to quickly test a prototype. Also, a major benefit from doing an online design sprint is the ability to cooperate with team members all over the globe (as long as they have a stable internet connection).

However, some limitations (and also some “upgrades”) to the normal way of doing a design sprint should be taken into account. In short, running an online design sprint is not much different from the physical counterpart. We recommend using two separate screens for both the facilitator and the participants whilst running a design sprint, so you can have the Miro board on one screen and your teammates in Teams on the other. Furthermore, the availability of the webcam feed inside Miro is spotty at best. Miro has an option for using webcams inside their app/browser, however this drastically slows down the performance of the board and proves to be difficult especially for older laptops. Furthermore, Teams is stable and offers all functionality needed, such as project group pages and chat. All current communications (both internal and with clients) already happens using Teams. The decision for using Microsoft Teams for communication was quite straight forward. Importing files from all types of repositories is as easy as drag-and-drop will get, and no matter the size of the board and drawings, Miro is stable, fast and responsive. The most important reason for choosing Miro over its competitors is its stability and feature set. Furthermore, we use Microsoft Teams as a way of communicating during the design sprint.

#Sprint layout online software
After intensive testing and comparison of multiple software options for sharing whiteboards and design thinking tools (such as Microsoft Whiteboard, Mural and Miro) we have decided to use Miro as our tool of choice.
