Question
Name the five stages of the design process.
Answer
Empathize; define the project; ideation and modelling; designing a solution; presenting a solution.
Question
What does the empathize stage produce?
Answer
Research findings from real users, a primary persona, and a user journey with pain points marked.
Question
What does defining the project produce?
Answer
A problem statement, and a design specification whose criteria are testable and split into essential and desirable.
Question
Why is the design process iterative?
Answer
Because testing and users keep producing information that invalidates an earlier decision. A failed test sends you back to ideation; a missing requirement sends you back to the specification.
