5-Step Framework for Product Design Thinking

This mind map outlines a comprehensive 5-step framework for product design thinking, focusing on empathy, definition, creative ideas, prototyping, and testing. It begins with empathy, utilizing methods like observation (APOEM Tool), interviews (5W1H), and experience (Empathy Map) to understand user needs. The definition phase involves identifying stakeholders, requirements, and insights to clearly outline the problem. Creative ideas are generated through divergent thinking (brainstorming) and organized using convergent thinking methods like mind maps, finite order determination, and dot voting. The prototyping step emphasizes quick, rough, and appropriate model creation. Finally, the testing phase focuses on continuous improvement through iterative testing and retesting. Implementing this framework can streamline the product design process, ensuring user-centered solutions and fostering innovation.
