What is a design sprint?
A design sprint is a time-boxed process, often five days, for solving a big problem and testing a solution: map the challenge, sketch ideas, decide on one, build a prototype, and test it with users. Storyflow runs the whole sprint on one canvas with AI that synthesizes research and drafts the plan. Miro and FigJam are the common whiteboard alternatives.

Start from a ready-made template
Pick a board to see what you can build, then let AI fill it in. Every template is a real, editable starting point on the same infinite canvas.

What is the design sprint process?
A design sprint compresses months of debate into a focused week. The classic format, developed at Google Ventures, runs five days: map the problem on Monday, sketch solutions on Tuesday, decide on Wednesday, prototype on Thursday, and test with real users on Friday. Many teams now run a shorter version, but the shape is the same: diverge, converge, build, and learn fast.
A sprint lives or dies on shared context. The map, the sketches, the decision, the prototype, and the test notes all need to sit where the team can see them and refer back. Spread that across a whiteboard, a slide deck, and a prototyping tool and the thread breaks. The team spends Friday reconstructing what it decided on Wednesday.
Storyflow keeps the whole sprint on one infinite canvas. Drop research in and the AI helps map the problem and synthesize what you already know. Sketch solutions with the pen tool, cluster and vote to decide, build a prototype, and pin test findings beside the ideas they judge. Because the AI reads the board, the mapping and synthesis that normally eat the first day happen in a fraction of the time.
HOW IT WORKS
Map to test, all on one board.
No switching between a whiteboard, a deck, and a prototype tool. The sprint lives in one place.
01
Map the challenge
Drop in what you know and the AI helps map the problem, the users, and the goal on day one.
02
Sketch and decide
Sketch solutions on the canvas, then cluster and vote to converge on the one worth building.
03
Prototype
Build a realistic prototype on the board, with references and flows next to it for the makers.
04
Test with users
Share a view-only link to test with real users, then pin their feedback beside the prototype.
The whole sprint week, on one board.
The map, the sketches, the decision, and the prototype stop scattering across tools.
Compress day one with AI
Map the problem faster
Drop in research and the AI helps map the challenge, the users, and the goal, so the mapping that usually takes all of Monday takes a fraction of it.

Diverge, then converge
Sketch, cluster, and decide
Fill the board with solution sketches, then cluster and vote to converge on the one to prototype. The decision and the reasons for it stay on the board.

Build something real to test
Prototype on the same canvas
Lay out the prototype flow with sketches, screens, and notes, so the makers build from one clear reference instead of a scattered brief.

Learn from real users
Test and capture findings
Share a view-only link to test the prototype, then pin each finding next to the part of the prototype it judges, so Friday's learning stays with the work.

BUILT FOR THE SPRINT
More than a design sprint template.
Storyflow is an AI-native canvas, so the whole week stays connected from Monday's map to Friday's test.
AI that speeds up the slow parts
Map and synthesize in less time
Map from what you know: Drop in research and the AI helps build the problem map and long-term goal, so day one starts with a draft instead of a blank wall.
Synthesize existing research: Cluster prior notes and interviews into insights the sprint can build on, drafted from your own material.
Context-aware ideas: Because the AI reads the whole board, its suggestions respond to your challenge, not a generic prompt.
Everyone sees the same week
Keep the sprint on one board
Map, sketch, decide, prototype: Every stage lives on one infinite canvas, so Friday's test refers back to Monday's map without reconstruction.
200+ frameworks: Storyflow's Story Blueprints library includes mapping, journey, and ideation style templates to start the week.
Decide and record: Cluster and vote on the board, then keep the decision and its reasons visible for the rest of the sprint.
Remote and in-person, same board
Run a distributed sprint
Real-time collaboration: Invite the team to one board and run the sprint together whether people are in the room or remote.
Facilitate on any screen: Lead from a laptop, project the board, or follow along on a phone. Everyone stays in sync.
View-only for testing: Share a view-only link so users react to the prototype on Friday without an account.
From sprint to what ships
Carry the outcome forward
One connected record: The map, sketches, prototype, and findings stay on one board instead of scattering into exported files.
Hand off with context: Share the board so the build team sees the reasoning, not just the final prototype.
Reuse the format: Duplicate a sprint as a template so each one runs tighter than the last.
Explore templates for your project
Every template opens as a real, editable board on the infinite canvas. Pick the closest fit and make it your own.

What creators are saying
Join early creators getting structured workspaces and AI that remembers their projects
“Storyflow has sped up my workflow by at least 3x, which means more flow state and more projects I can actually ship. It truly changed the way me and my team create.”
Reilin Joey
Director & YouTuber
“One prompt gets me a structured board. But the tactics are my favorite. I run my YouTube scripts through them and my intros and retention got better. It's amazing.”
Justkay

“I used to juggle five apps to plan a project. Now I describe what I am making and get boards, lists, and a schedule. All in one place.”

Design sprints, answered.
Everything people ask about running a design sprint with Storyflow.
A design sprint maps a problem, sketches solutions, decides on one, prototypes it, and tests it with users, classically over five days. In Storyflow you run all of it on one infinite canvas: the AI helps map and synthesize, you sketch and vote to decide, build the prototype on the board, and share a view-only link to test. Everything stays connected from Monday to Friday.
Solve the big problem in a week.
Map it, sketch it, prototype it, and test it on one canvas, with AI to move faster. Free plan, no credit card.
