Knapp built it as a scripted five-day recipe
Jake Knapp describes the Design Sprint as a scripted set of activities taking a project from zero to a tested prototype in five days, developed from his own experiments as a Gmail product designer at Google and later refined by running hundreds of sprints with startups at Google Ventures.

Built to replace the perfect pitch or PRD
Knapp says the sprint grew out of a stalled side project his team saved by clearing their calendar for a week and building a working prototype to put in front of colleagues, after trying and failing to win support with 'the perfect plan, the perfect PRD, the perfect pitch to executives.'

Miro uses it to validate hypotheses before building
Varun Parmar says Miro is a heavy user of the Design Sprint framework for new zero-to-one initiatives: a small team spends five days mocking up and prototyping a concept, then goes out to get real user validation before committing further, as with the Miro Talktrack feature.
