Double Diamond
The Double Diamond technique is a structured approach to design, encompassing 4 key stages:
- Discover. Designers explore the problem space, researching users and understanding their needs.
- Define. This stage narrows the focus, crystallizing the problem.
- Develop. During development, insights from the first two stages guide the creation of solutions.
- Deliver. This phase focuses on finalizing and testing these solutions.
This method encourages an iterative process; designers can revisit previous stages to refine ideas, ensuring the most effective and tailored solution. It's a flexible framework that balances exploration with focused development, facilitating a deeper understanding of both problems and solutions.[1]
