Your answer

Design thinking/human-centered design is a methodology that is: *

Used across industries and sectors to approach a wide range of challenges from product design and service design to space or systems design

Best applied within a narrow focus when the problem is known to the design team

Only applied to broad social issues with no known solutions

Conducted entirely by a team of experts without input from end-users

True or False? Only professionally-trained designers are able to develop the design thinking mindset to integrate the tools and processes into solutions. *

True

False

Which of the following is not typically considered a process in Design Thinking? *

Empathizing with the end-user

Re-framing the problem

Transforming your research immediately into a scaled model for marketing

Low-resolution prototyping

Which of the following is an accurate statement? *

Design Thinking is an entirely new discipline with unique methodologies

Design Thinking has not generated entirely new processes; rather it has pulled methodologies from different genres & integrates them in a new way

True of False? Within the five-step process put forth by the Stanford Design School, "Empathy" is considered the foundation of the Design Thinking/human-centered design methodology. *

True

False

Re-framing the problem is an essential aspect of Design Thinking as it allows teams to do which of the following? *

Move forward quickly without exploring root causes of a problem

Dive deeply into the problem they are attempting to solve to ensure that they are working to solve the right issue

Work independently without input from others

Spend the majority of their time designing solutions

Ideation allows teams to do which of the following? *

Brainstorm a diverse range of ideas and select a few of the most promising ones

Use words and drawings to convey ideas

Diverge into brainstorming even wild ideas

All of the above

Which statement is not true? Low resolution prototypes are useful because: *

It is an efficient and economical way to quickly test aspects of your design solution

It forces you to "Show, don't tell" your ideas/solutions to others

It puts pressure on the team to get it right the first time

The process of making a prototype with your team helps clarify the gaps in your design

True or False? Adopting a mindset that includes rapid iterations of prototypes based on user feedback is not just economical, but increases the likelihood that the end solution will meet the users' need. *

True

False

Design thinking involves cycles of: *

Divergent thinking

Convergent thinking

Seeking feedback and iterating designs

All of the above
