Many organizations have based their own design thinking process from Stanford's design thinking model or using Google Ventures and Jake Knapp's five day process from the book Sprint: How to Solve Big Problems and Test New Ideas in Just Five Days. However, five day design sprints have had its challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic including the ability to conduct a remote design sprint using the same process effectively, loss of productive time and the ability to collaborate with multiple stakeholders in one room.

The adaptation to two hour design sprints helps organizations increase the frequency and speed of solving small and medium problems whether virtual or in-person, while still using the five day design sprint method to solve larger problems. Teresa Cain spent over three years teaching, testing and implementing this concept at organizations and conferences around the world, including launching the highest rated and best selling Udemy on-demand training course on design sprints, 2 Hour Design Sprint: Learn how to solve problems and design products in just 2 hours vs. 5 days using Figma FigJam and received a prestigious Emerging Scholar Award in 2023 from the International Conference on Design Principles and Practices, presenting on my research Putting into Practice Evolving Design Thinking Methods at Technology Firms: The Evolution to 2 Hour Design Sprints.
