Review of 'Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days' on 'Goodreads'

Woaw, finally finished this wonderful book, now I want to implement it everywhere, and can't wait to do it. While I've never been at all a meeting guy, this methodology proposes finally a reason to make some giant ones with a deep purpose and clear objectives, while encompassing everything we learned about human psychology (avoiding brainstorming traps where the quiet one don't say anything, avoiding decisions traps, ...). The whole process looks really smooth and interesting and could suit almost any project. It also integrate real user testings, something I think is deeply necessary for every project, to avoid one's blindness. Really can't wait to put it into action :)
