Manifestos/Principles
Principle Creation Sprint
Principles often need rapid creation, not slow consensus. The Principle Creation Sprint generates 15-25 design principles in 2.5 hours. Use this intensive exercise for new product launches, team formations, or strategic pivots. Expect high energy during generation and debate during refinement. The 145-minute duration forces decisions. Principles will feel both aspirational and grounded.

Generate 40-60 raw principle ideas fast. Consolidate these into 15-25 distinct principles. Test principles against real decisions. Create initial documentation.
Rapidly generated design principles. Fresh principles from a focused sprint. A foundation for further refinement.
Push for volume during idea generation. Testing principles against real decisions is key. Balance speed with quality. Sometimes, the testing phase reveals a principle isn't as useful as you thought. That's okay!
