Design Thinking Process: by Mind Map: Design Thinking Process:

1. Prototype:“Build to think and test to learn.”

1.1. What

1.1.1. Building representation of the ideas to get feedback from user

1.2. How

1.2.1. Gather feedback

1.2.2. To fail quickly and cheaply

1.2.3. Don’t spend too long on one prototype

1.3. Why

1.3.1. carry out many possibilities

2. Ideate: “It’s not about coming up with the ‘right’ idea, it’s about generating the broadest range of possibilities.”

2.1. What

2.1.1. concentrating on idea generation

2.2.2. embracing misunderstanding

2.2.3. Coming up with many solutions as you can

2.3. Why

2.3.1. for a widest quantity of ideas

3. Test“Testing is an opportunity to learn about your solution and your user.”

3.1. What

3.1.1. soliciting feedback

3.1.2. framing of the problem and created prototypes to test

3.2. How

3.2.1. Evaluate

3.2.1.1. what worked?

3.2.1.2. what didn't

3.2.2. Irate & scale

3.3. Why

3.3.1. informing the next iterations of prototypes

3.3.2. opportunities to build more empathy

4. Empathize: “To create meaningful innovations, you need to know your users and care about their lives.”

4.1. What

4.4.2. The team put themselves on the kid's shoe (users) to know their exact needs

4.4.2.1. therefore, they clearly define the problem

5. Define:“Framing the right problem is the only way to create the right solution.”

5.1. What

5.1.1. create a point of view that is based on your user's needs

5.1.2. making sense of the widespread gathered information

5.2. How

5.2.1. Synthesize

5.2.1.1. select the NEEDS
