How to go from a sketch to the app store in less than 4 weeks.

How we built the Make Time app

How fast do you ship your new applications?

If you want to fulfill the untapped potential of digital products, you should ship them fast and on a regular basis. Devising and testing new business concepts is an important step, but it’s only the beginning. If you want to improve your digital products, you’ll need to be able to ship them in weeks, not months. The sooner that happens, the quicker you can get started with gathering feedback from your customers. This will allow you to continue improving your work.


Unfortunately, not everyone knows how to develop digital products at warp speed.

Ask Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky. The so-called godfathers of the design sprint didn’t want to waste their precious time when they were creating the Make Time app. That’s why they joined forces with Bothrs! We helped them turn their mockups into a shipped product in less than 4 weeks.

This is what you’re getting

  • Ways to avoid misaligned teams and lost communication
  • Why it’s important to trust the sprint process and avoid noise
  • How Expo helped us to make the ultimate productivity app in less than 4 weeks

I am amazed at how quickly the work happened and how high quality the work was. The app was almost complete after a couple of weeks, it was pretty amazing.’

Bothrs introduced us to design sprints for the revamp of our digital brand and shop environment. In one week we'd defined goals, challenges, inspirations and solutions. We got everyone involved and aligned from the start! We’ve turned months of unstructured, ineffective processes into one intense week of strategy, prototyping and testing.
