This method involves observing users in their natural environment to understand their needs
Inquiry"
The goal of this stage is to clearly articulate the problem you are trying to solve.
What is "Problem Statement
This brainstorming technique encourages wild ideas without judgment.
"Brainstorming
This type of prototype is usually low-fidelity and built quickly to test ideas.
What is a "Paper Prototype
This stage involves gathering user feedback on prototypes to make improvements.
What is "User Testing
This technique gathers direct feedback from users about their experiences and challenges
interviews
This tool helps summarize insights gained during the Empathize stage.
What is "Affinity Diagramming
This creative session often involves diverse team members to generate a variety of ideas.
"Collaborative Ideation
These digital prototypes allow for interactive testing of design concepts.
What are "Wireframes
This method is used to observe how users interact with a prototype in real-time.
What is "A/B Testing"
This tool is often used to create user personas based on research findings.
"Persona Mapping
This document outlines the needs and problems of users, guiding the design process
What is "Point of View (POV)
This method involves sketching ideas quickly to visualize concepts.
What is "Rapid Prototyping"
This tool helps designers create clickable prototypes for user testing.
What is "InVision"
This approach assesses usability by measuring how long it takes users to complete tasks
What is "Task Completion Rate
Understanding users’ emotions and motivations is crucial for this stage of the design process.
"Empathy Mapping"
This framework is often used to analyze user needs and define design challenges
How Might We
This structured approach prioritizes ideas based on feasibility and impact.
What is "Dot Voting"?
This phase often involves creating multiple versions of a prototype to explore different ideas.
What is "Iterative Prototyping
This type of testing allows designers to refine prototypes based on qualitative feedback.
What is "Focus Group Testing
This research method involves gathering data from users through surveys and questionnaires.
What is "Survey
This technique involves synthesizing research findings to create a clear design focus.
"User Journey Mapping"
This technique encourages participants to build on each other's ideas during brainstorming.
What is "Yes, And..."
This technique involves using physical materials to create a tangible version of a product.
What is "3D Modeling"?
This technique gathers both qualitative and quantitative feedback from users after testing.
What is "Post-Testing Surveys"?
