Tips to complete activity

  • To identify problems you might find it helpful to brainstorm with other people, or gain insights from gathering data from previous feedback or talking with your team.
  • Once you’ve identified a number of problems, get feedback from a few people who can add different perspectives. This will help to place problems in an order of impact.

Frame your design challenge

This activity will help you articulate your problem into something more specific and actionable. This process can help you check with those around you that you have a shared understanding of goals, encourages a focused exploration of potential solutions, and sets the criteria for evaluating success.
