Today in class we looked at the technique called the “Design Sprint” which was based on Google’s method in UX design to practice design leadership in a team. It is used to solve problems when developing ouur design,prototyping and test out our ideas with users.
Design Sprints are a process which happens over 5 days. But today we were asked to complete it in a day.
The Problem
Too much pressures in hopsitals. How many we ease the pressures on E&A Department in Hopsitals.
I worked with Matthew, Florence and Cormac to come up with a digital soloution to this problem. We were asked to follow 6 point stages in order to pitch a product.
- Understand- Who are the users and needs?
During this stage we wrote down a list of “How might” or How can” we questions. Then we catergorised them together and selected the best post it and go with that idea.
2. Define
3. Ideation- Brainstorm Ideas
4. Decide- What is the best idea?
5. Prototype- Design One
6. Validate- Testing
Reflection
I thought this was a fun task to do as a group. It got us to think outside the box and got us working together as a team to come up with a solution. I really enjoyed it and it was nice to have a change from the usual lectures on Thursday. I felt our group worked well and in the end came up with a good idea which I could see it being produced to ease stress and anxious in the waiting rooms and hosptials.
