Design Challenge Framework

What: 

This is a template for design challenge and it follows the simple format of Why, Who, Where & When and What. I created this template for interviewees to solve whiteboard design challenges.

Who:

Anyone can make use of this template to solve any design challenge where user centered design is the main goal.

When:

• Whiteboard design challenge

• Interviews

• Design sprints sessions

• Brainstorming/Ideating

How:

1. Start with the section of "Why/The Goal", Where you can define the goal, the pain points of the user.

2. Then you can move on to exploring the user persona in the section "Who/The Persona" to create an outline of what the user could be like, their demographic details (Eg: Name, Age, Sex, Profession etc.), their motivations, frustrations and needs.

3. Next you can provide a context and scenarios of where and when in the section "Where and When/The Context".

4. Lastly, you can brainstorm to come up with ideas, features and solutions in the section "What/The Solution".
