Here is the class outline:
1. LAUNCH PHASE [W1]Project Launch and Overview |
2. EMPATHIZE PHASE [W2-5]Understanding the users on a human level helps create more effective, relevant, and user-centric solutions. |
3. DEFINE PHASE {W6]Clearly framing the right problem to solve, ensuring the design efforts are targeted and meaningful to the real challenges faced by users. |
4. IDEATE PHASE [W7]A divergent thinking stage allows teams to explore a wide range of creative solutions and possibilities without constraints, leading to innovative (out-of-the-box) ideas, and breaking free from obvious solutions. |
5. PROTOTYPE PHASE [W8-9]Transforming solution ideas into tangible forms allows designers to test and refine concepts, identify problems early, and gather feedback, thus reducing risk before committing significant resources to create a final product that truly meets the user's needs and expectations. |
6. TEST PHASE [W10]Testing allows designers to critically evaluate prototypes in real-world scenarios, identify strengths and weaknesses, and refine their designs based on user insights to develop practical solutions to complex |
7. PITCH & ITERATE PHASE [WK11-12] |
