Design Thinking Workshop

This workshop is highly collaborative and hands-on, designed to get everyone actively involved
from the very beginning.

Participants work in small groups, using sticky notes to capture ideas, insights, and
assumptions, making thinking visible and easy to evolve. Instead of long discussions, the focus is
on doing—sketching, clustering, voting, and building on each other’s perspectives.
The use of simple tools like post-it notes creates a dynamic, visual environment where ideas can
quickly emerge, shift, and grow, supporting creativity, alignment, and shared understanding
throughout the day.

Join the training lead by the author of the popular books The Great ScrumMaster: #ScrumMasterWay, The Agile Leader: Leveraging the Power of Influence, and Agilní metody řízení projektů (in Czech) and get hands-on experiences on how to start your career as a great Agile Leader.

Agenda

In this workshop, we guide participants through the full Design Thinking process, moving
step by step from understanding to action.

• We start with Phase 1: Empathize, where teams explore and deeply understand the user and their needs.
• In Phase 2: Define, they synthesize insights and frame a clear, meaningful problem to solve. Next comes
• Phase 3: Ideate, where participants generate a wide range of creative solutions, building on each other’s ideas.
• In Phase 4: Prototype, those ideas are brought to life in simple, tangible forms that make them easier to explore and communicate.
• Finally, in Phase 5: Test, teams gather feedback and validate their solutions, learning what works and what to improve.

This structured yet flexible flow ensures a practical, user-centered approach from start to finish.
