"Hmm, sounds like some fancy word, right? well, the beauty of this word lies in the 5 steps that are collectively called design thinking process. Did you notice the image above? all those 5 steps are part of "Design Thinking Process" and when a designer solves a problem in these steps, then he is said to have worked using design thinking process. Let's see what do we do in these stages. Empathise -Here we try to know the people we're designing for to understand their needs better. Define - Here we define a problem statement and our target users. Ideate - Here we come up with all different solutions we can think of. Prototype - Here we create a rough but understandable visual of the solution we have decided. Test - Here we show our solution(s) to users, get feedback and do improvements wherever it is required and possible."
"Show time (Ta-da!) Before starting with any of the steps don't forget that " You are not User", try to understand what your users are saying and never give or take solution right away, very first and only thing to do is, understand the problem before jumping on to the solution Period Set a meeting - understand your users Remembering " You ≠ User" I started with " Empathise " stage. I created a set of questions for my users, have a look at those... - If not where do you work? - If yes, what is it like and how much do you like it?"
Design Thinking comprises five stages: Empathise, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. Empathise requires learning about the people being designed for to understand their needs. Define requires framing a clear problem statement and identifying target users. Ideate requires generating diverse possible solutions. Prototype requires creating a rough, understandable visual of the chosen solution. Test requires showing solutions to users, gathering feedback, and making improvements where required. Prioritize the principle "You are not User," set one-on-one meetings, prepare focused questions, and conduct interviews to capture genuine user needs before proposing solutions.
