in this class, we learnt about design and strategy and what methods I can take when moving forward after the discovery session. This will aid me in understanding a good path to take for my project.
Primary Research:

“Successful problem solving requires finding the right solution to the right problem. we fail more often because we solve the wrong problem that because we get the wrong solution to the problem”

Through our research, we are to write a single sentence that conveys the problem you have found and you want to solve.
We then had an exercise that IDEO had originally created. This was the ‘Frame your design challenge’, where we used the research that we had found and used it to answer 6 questions. Doing this helps us to know what we are trying to design, by considering the problem, how we might do it, some solutions, what our desired outcome is, and what some of the constraints are that we might come across when we put ourselves in the users context.
It is so important to make sure that we are building the right thing. This is not up to the developers but the designers to ensure that before valuable resources get used, we know what problem we are trying to solve. The define stage starts with a simple sentence that defines what the problem is. In class we wrote down what the problem is that we will be looking at when it comes to our project, this was to have clarity as to what the purpose is of our product.

The next stage is to create a ‘how might we’ statement, where we restate the problem but with ‘how might we’ in front of it. Creating these will help us to understand and hone in on the solution that we will be trying to achieve.
