The Waston that competed on

Jeopardy! in 2011 comprised what

is now a single API—Q&A—built

on five underlying technologies.

Since then, Watson has grown to

a family of 28 APIs (services).

By the end of 2016, there will

be nearly 50 Watson APIs—

with more added every year.

IBM Design Thinking Method

Hills focus your project on big (but attainable) problems and outcomes for users, not just a list of features requested.

Sponsor Users help you design experiences for real target users, rather than imagined needs

Playbacks align your team, stakeholders and clients around the user value you will deliver, rather than project line items
