Understand » Solve » Evaluate
Here’s the simple model that I use to explain the design approach: Understand, Solve, and Evaluate (U.S.E.). This model generalizes to all kinds of framing and problem solving situations, not just product design. If you’d like to use the diagram yourself, I’m releasing it under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license. Here’s a Slideshare link where you can download the diagram in PPT. I’ll work on building out a small deck that describes each of the three parts, but for now it’s just the diagram itself.
