DESIGN PROCESS


Job to be Done

“People do not want a quarter-inch drill, they want a quarter inch hole”. The JTBD theory establishes that in order to create an innovative / disruptive product you should focus on the job itself rather than the product or the customer. I use the JTBD theory in my design process as an analysis driver to dissect complex problems and generate simple solutions.

Five Stages Design

IDEO published an essay at CHI '95 titled "Interaction Design at IDEO Product Development". The interaction design methodology proposed in this essay, describes a very open-ended and fluid process that doesn't overindex on finding a solution but rather understanding a problem. I adapted this methodology and have been using it as the backbone of my own design process.
