FAQPage Schema

What is a design thinking framework and how does it apply to hackathons?▼

A design thinking framework structures problem-solving into phases like Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. It applies to hackathons by providing templates and exercises that guide teams from user research to prototype validation under tight time constraints.

How do I integrate Jobs-to-be-Done into a design thinking workshop?▼

Integrate Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) into design thinking by using it during the Define phase to frame user needs based on the progress they are trying to make, ensuring your prototype directly addresses those specific functional outcomes.

Can I use this design thinking process for agentic infrastructure projects without external tooling?▼

Yes, this design thinking process specifically guides teams in building agentic infrastructure without external tooling. It delivers practical exercises and templates to facilitate the entire workflow internally.

What is the best way to run user research during a fast-paced hackathon?▼

The best way to run user research during a hackathon is to start with Phase 1: Empathize to map your user's journey. This framework provides structured exercises to quickly capture and synthesize user needs.

Does this design thinking framework include templates for prototype validation?▼

Yes, the framework includes templates and worked examples for prototype validation. It covers the Test phase to help teams evaluate their agentic infrastructure solutions and iterate based on user feedback.
