Design Thinking

An approach that combines: empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in generating ideas and rationality in filtering ideas.

Product Design Sprints

As long as it’s an important problem, it’s perfect for a design sprint.

Day 1: Understand

1) Business Opportunities

2) Competitors 3) How to Measure Success 4) Existing Research 5) Who Should I Interview? 6) Most Important User Story

Brief Pause for Brainstorming

Day 1: Understand

1) Business Opportunities

2) Competitors 3) How to Measure Success 4) Existing Research 5) Who Should I Interview? 6) Most Important User Story

Day 1: Understand

How To Measure Success

Goals Signals Metrics

Happiness

Engagement

Adoption

Retention

Task Success

Day 1: Understand

User Stories

Day 2: Diverge

1) Separate user story into unique problems.

2) Generate lots of solutions for each chunk. 3) Analyzed ideas that emerge. Find connections. 4) Generate new solutions based on these ideas. 5) Choose what itches for more development. 6) Storyboard 3 different flows that meet user story.

7) Get feedback.

Day 2: Diverge

Generate Lots of Solutions

Day 3: Decide

1) Conflicts: did I solve the same problem different ways?

2) Test several against each other, or choose the best? 3) What are my biggest assumptions? 4) Script test based on settling conflicts & assumptions. 5) Sketch storyboard of user with your prototype.

Day 4: Prototype

1) Aim for minimum fidelity for an accurate test.

2) Use real text/content. Lorem ipsum is useless. 3) Seek out feedback at several points. 4) Complete test is more important than beauty.

Day 5: Validate

1) What are my conflicts and assumptions to be tested?

2) Script my test to make sure I get to everything. 3) Have someone else take notes or record the test. 4) Run 5-6 interviews to start seeing patterns. 5) Figure out what did and did not work. 6) Determine what the next test is going to be.

Next week at AUX…

1) Presentations are 10 minutes each.

2) We want to see your process. 3) Insights and experiences that changed your

point of view are important. 4) Describe how the prototype you arrived at will

allow you to test a big assumption.

5) Discuss what you think you’d do next.
