SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Apply IDEO-style design thinking methodology to solve complex problems creatively, then present the analysis on canvas and/or as a web artifact.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three frameworks (Double Diamond, GV Design Sprint, JTBD Switch Interview) guide problem framing, ideation, and validation.
  • Core tools (HMW, Crazy 8s, Assumption Mapping, Empathy Map, 5-Act Interview) surface insights and structure exploration.
  • Outputs are canvas-ready or web artifacts for stakeholder storytelling and decision making.

Quick Start

Start by identifying a user problem, selecting a framework, and outlining a concise problem statement to begin the analysis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply design thinking frameworks to map ambiguous problems?

You can apply design thinking frameworks to map ambiguous problems by selecting Double Diamond, GV Design Sprint, or JTBD Switch Interview methods to generate structured, human-centered analyses suitable for canvas boards or web artifacts.

What is the best way to structure human-centered design insights for stakeholder storytelling?

The best way to structure human-centered design insights for stakeholder storytelling is using tools like Empathy Maps, Assumption Mapping, and HMW questions to surface insights and output canvas-ready or web artifacts for decision making.

How do I conduct a JTBD Switch Interview for creative problem-solving?

To conduct a JTBD Switch Interview for creative problem-solving, you use the framework to frame problems and validate solutions, applying the 5-Act Interview structure to surface user insights across ambiguous contexts.

Can I use design thinking tools to generate canvas-ready prototypes?

Yes, you can use design thinking tools like Crazy 8s and Assumption Mapping to generate structured analyses that are directly output as canvas-ready prototypes or web artifacts for stakeholder review.

Do I need a specific environment setup to start a human-centered design analysis?

You need to define a concise problem statement and select a framework to start a human-centered design analysis; the process requires a YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md with at least name and description to load context and resources.

When should I use Double Diamond versus GV Design Sprint for problem framing?

Use Double Diamond for broad problem framing and ideation, and choose GV Design Sprint when you need a structured sprint approach for rapid validation, as both are IDEO-style design thinking frameworks applied across ambiguous contexts.
