Q1. What is Design Thinking? Step 3

DESIGN THINKING PROCESS

A model of the design thinking process is shown as a 5-step process. These steps are not necessarily in the order that people will end up following, sometimes you will need to jump back and forth between steps.

For example, if someone is not able to complete an accurate test of their solution they may need to jump back to the prototype stage to make a new mock-up to test. We’ll be using this model as our guide to exploring the design thinking process. A design thinking process can help you solve some of the hardest problems or some of the silliest.
