Design Terminology
This term refers to the minimum version of a product that can be released to test its viability.
What is a Minimum Viable Product (MVP)?
Most popular software that is used to help make testable product, allows collaboration.
What is Figma?
This principle emphasizes that the design should be intuitive, allowing users to understand how to use a product without instruction.
What is usability?
This research technique involves observing users in their natural environment
What is ethnographic research?
This technology enables users to interact with digital content in the physical world
What is augmented reality (AR)?
This design method involves creating multiple versions of a product to determine which performs better with users.
What is A/B testing?
This is a technique for gathering and organizing data about users and their needs, often involving interviews, observations, and surveys.
What is User Research?
This design principle focuses on creating a consistent look and feel across all parts of a product to enhance user familiarity.
What is consistency?
This metric measures how likely users are to recommend your product to others
What is Net Promoter Score (NPS)?
This concept involves designing products that can adapt and change based on user needs or environmental factors
What is adaptive or responsive design?
This term describes the process of refining a product through repeated cycles of design, testing, and evaluation.
What is iterative design?
This is a technique for generating a large number of ideas in a short amount of time, often involving collaborative workshops.
What is Brainstorming?
This principle involves prioritizing the most important information or actions in a design by making them more prominent.
What is visual hierarchy?
This strategic framework helps teams align their product vision with measurable outcomes and customer success metrics.
What is a product roadmap?
This emerging technology combines physical and digital worlds, enabling real-time data sharing and interaction through smart devices.
What is the Internet of Things (IoT)?
This visual representation outlines a user's interactions with a product over time, highlighting their experience at each stage.
What is a customer journey map?
This is a technique for creating a physical or digital model of a design concept or prototype, often using rapid design tools or techniques.
What is Prototyping?
This design principle advocates for creating products that are not only functional but also emotionally resonant, enhancing user satisfaction through positive emotional experiences.
What is emotional design?
This visualization tool helps teams understand user behaviors, needs, and motivations
What is an empathy map?
This advanced computational technique allows systems to improve their performance on a specific task through experience, without being explicitly programmed for each scenario.
What is machine learning?
This is the most popular design framework at Kellogg and constantly being thrown around.
This is a technique for showing a prototype to real users in order to gather feedback and refine the design.
What is User Testing?
This term is used to describe qualities such as embracing complexity, human values, purposeful planning, recognize oppression, self awareness in design.
What is Design Equity?
This agile scaling framework, designed for large enterprises, organizes work into "Release Trains" and uses concepts like "Program Increment Planning" to coordinate multiple teams.
What is the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)?
This technology uses blockchain to create decentralized applications that enhance security and transparency in transactions.
What is decentralized finance (DeFi)?
