“Design sprint” como ferramenta de apoio no planejamento de projetos pedagógicos e de intervenções em saúde

Abstract

Introduction: Strategic planning is a process that must be continuous in any environmnet, whether in business, government institutions, Unified Health System and medical residency programs. Design sprint, being a methodology for prototyping and testing projects based on innovative ideas, comes as a part of a strategic planning and support tool for the restructuring of pedagogical projects and for the creation of health intervention projects. In addition, Design sprint is efficient, has strategy and action, runs over short periods of time and without compromising the progress of activities and service. Objectives: To evaluate the project as a tool to support the educational planning of a medical residency program and health intervention projects in a basic health unit. Method: Tests were applied before and after DS workshops, as well as feedback collection and structured interviews. Conclusion: Despite the adjustments made in the performed design sprint method, the results were important and demonstrated good applicability. In addition, participants saw the tool as an inclusive strategy, which gives everyone space for speech and a team building process, reinforcing a sense of cooperation and co-creation. The aspects that have faithfully followed all the steps of the methodology developed by Google Ventures, through Jake Knapp, were very emphasized, such as the ambience, programming, attention to time, facilitation and organization of DS, as well as the participation of experts to compose and add to the group. Finally, more activities like this one are needed, under different circumstances, to reach the possibilities of adapting the method, which has some requirements that hinders its execution.
