The Crate and Barrel’s Path to Purchase eCommerce team had a few of its members participate in a design sprint to re-evaluate and improve the mobile navigation experience for the customer. In this week-long design sprint, we were able to find answers to critical business questions through design, prototyping, and usability testing.
The week-long sprint was productive and successful. On Monday, we mapped out the problem and found our starting place. Tuesday, we focused on the solution and each team member sketched out iterations of possible solutions. On Wednesday, we critiqued the sketches and narrowed them down to two directions, and built out a storyboard for each. Thursday, we split into teams and designed and built out high-fidelity prototypes. On Friday, we put our functioning prototype in front of customers for usability testing.
After completion of the design sprint, we chose the winning prototype and began to refine those designs and interactions, which then led to iterative launches to the site.
