Student Led Garden Signage Sprint

Five days, from brief to installed. Deliberately fast.

The time constraint changes the work. There is no room for perfectionism, decisions get made, and something real exists at the end of the week. Students who have taken three months over a project find this uncomfortable and instructive.

The page has the day by day plan, the brief, a design standard, a review gate on day three and an installation checklist. Materials need to be ready in advance or the sprint stalls on day two, which happened to us and cost the whole week.
