Test
Testing is your chance to refine solutions, continue to learn about your users, and gather feedback. The testphase is an interactive mode where you’re tasked with placing low-resolution prototypes in the appropriate context of your user’s life.
How to Test? Create an authentic experience for users to test your prototypes. Learn more about your user. Testing is yet another opportunity to build empathy through observation and engagement, often yielding unexpected insights. How did your user react to one of your tests? What was their feedback? Did your test provide insight into what needs to be tested next? All of these valuable questions can be answered with one (or more) tests. Refine prototypes and solutions Testing informs the next iterations of your prototypes. While this may mean going back to the drawing board, see it as being one step closer to finding an appropriate and effective solution. Test and refine your point of view Testing may reveal that not only did you get the solution wrong, but perhaps you have framed the problem incorrectly (Design School, Stanford University, 2011) Use the Lean Canvas model below to clarify your thinking about your defined problem and proposed solutions. See the example below this table for what is needed for each box. Either print this onto A3 paper or complete online. |
Lean Canvas Design Thinking
Use the Lean Canvas Design Thinking and complete the sections using the materials to you. This will encourage you to think about the customer/consumer/user of your product and how this will fit into a niche that is not already covered.
Post and share your Lean Canvas Design Thinking document with colleagues so they can comment and give you further ideas and suggestions. This step is important as the critique questions asked are important to refining your idea.
The final stage of your problem-based learning experience is Storytelling, where you will reflect on your Sustainability Goals and experience throughout the New Colombo Plan project. This step will also be ongoing throughout the project in the form of your own personal websites.
