Study Notes
Design Thinking Lecture Notes
- Design Thinking is a solution-focused approach to problem-solving.
- It's helpful for addressing complex, poorly-defined problems.
- The process involves understanding human needs by reframing problems, brainstorming ideas, prototyping, and testing.
- The process has five stages: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test.
- The Hasso-Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford (d.school) developed the five-stage model.
- The d.school is the leading university for teaching Design Thinking.
Empathize Stage
- Aims to gain empathetic understanding of the problem.
- Involves consulting experts, observing, engaging with people, and immersing oneself in the environment to understand motivations, experiences, and issues.
- Empathy is crucial for setting aside assumptions about the world when designing for other users.
Empathy Map
- A tool for understanding user needs and motivations.
- Includes sections for feelings, tasks, influences, pain points, and overall goals.
Define Stage
- Transforms the problem into a human-centric problem statement.
- The goal is to gather ideas for features, functions and other elements to solve the problem.
- "How might we…" questions are used to stimulate ideas for solving underlying issues.
Ideate Stage
- Promotes "outside the box" thinking to generate new solutions to the formulated problem.
- Uses various ideation techniques such as brainstorming, brainwriting, worst possible idea, and SCAMPER.
SCAMPER Method
- A technique for generating ideas by modifying or adding to existing concepts.
- Substitute - replace elements or parts with something different.
- Combine - join elements or parts together.
- Adapt - adjust an element or part to another use.
- Modify, Magnify, or Minify - change existing elements, parts, or processes.
- Put to other uses - find new or alternative ways to utilize existing objects or processes.
- Eliminate - remove existing elements, parts, or processes.
- Rearrange - change the order of existing elements, parts, or processes.
QADIM Method
- A method to generate ideas by modifying existing concepts.
- Increase size
- Add a feature
- Embed existing product into another product
- Combine two products into one
- Existing product
- Separate existing product into two
- Remove a feature
- Reduce size
Prototype Stage
- Creating inexpensive, scaled-down versions of the product or features.
- The goal is to test possible solutions to the defined problem.
Test Stage
- Designers or evaluators rigorously test the product to assess solutions identified during the prototyping phases.
- Outcomes are used to redefine problems and improve user understanding.
- User testing, questionnaires, interviews, and observation are crucial steps in the process.
Usability Evaluation
- Assess how easy or difficult a product/service is to use.
- Involves user feedback to evaluate aspects of effectiveness, efficiency, satisfaction, and ease of learning.
- Tools include the System Usability Scale (SUS).
SWOT Analysis
- A framework for identifying Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
- Used to analyze the product from an internal and external view to evaluate the strategic situation.
Critical Thinking Standards (CTS)
- Clarity, Accuracy, Precision, Relevance, Depth, Breadth, Logic, Significance, Fairness
Observation Methods
- The goal of observation is to gather in-depth knowledge and insights from participants' behaviors.
- Techniques include controlled observation (in a lab setting using structured methods) and naturalistic observation (in the participant's natural environment using unstructured methods).
Other Methods for Understanding Users
- Empathy map
- Use case exploration canvas
- User persona profiling
Qualitative and Quantitative Observation
- Qualitative observations are descriptive; e.g., "the room is clean"
- Quantitative observations are numerical; e.g., "The room is 10m wide"
Group Brainstorming Activities
- Include various activities like finding the fourth word and listing multiple uses for an object.
Fishbone Diagram
- A structured tool to explore root causing undesirable effects.
- Helps better understand factors and causes by grouping them into categories to organize insights.
