Design process

The design process that is used is based on the Design Kit by IDEO.org, which comprises three key phases: Inspiration, Ideation, and Implementation. In addition, the design process incorporates other design frameworks and methods, which are regularly updated to ensure that the process remains current and effective.

Inspiration

In this phase I try to understand people better by observing their lives, listening to their problems, ideas & desires.

Steps:
- gathering the latest information in a field
- identifying the users
- interviewing people and experts

Frameworks:
Scenario-building analysis, Competitive analysis, Framing the design challenge, Extremes and mainstreams, Immersion, Analogous inspiration, Card sort, Peers observing peers, Guided tour, Resource flow ...

Instruments:
Miro, Google forms

Ideation

This is the process where I analyze everything I've heard. Then I generate ideas, identify opportunities for design, test and refine my solutions.

Steps:
- creating a road map of a project
- categorizing
- user story mapping
- elaborating mood boards
- prototyping
- testing and getting feedback

Frameworks:
Finding the top 5, Insight statements, Mental models map, How might we...?, Stakeholder map, Opportunity canvas, Method 6-3-5, Product/service vision canvas, Customer journey map, Block schemes, Relational map, Brainstorm, Business model canvas...

Instruments:

Instructions:

Implementation

In the last step, I bring my solution to life. I figure out how to get my idea to the market and how to maximize its impact in the world.

Steps:
- understanding resource assessments
- developing detailed design and technical requirements as well as other forms of documentation
- definition of success metrics
- prioritizing product backlog based on user needs and business priorities
- collaboration with stakeholders, designers and technical specialists to develop, test, release and improve the product continuously
