Design Thinking Methodology is a non-linear,
iterative process that teams use to understand
their users better, challenge assumptions,
redefine challenges, and develop and test novel
solutions. It has been practised by all great
innovators in literature, art, music, science,
engineering, and business. Empathize, define,
ideate, prototype, and test are the five most
valuable processes for solving ill-defined or
unknown situations.

Importance of Design Thinking Methodology
Design Thinking Methodology gives teams the
freedom to come up with novel ideas. Your team
can use it to get behind hard-to-find information
and apply various hands-on ways to help uncover
unique solutions. Design thinking can assist you
if you wish to modify anything from its current
state to the desired state.

5 Steps of Design Thinking Methodology

• Design thinking is a five-stage process. These
  phases are rarely performed in order, and teams
  frequently perform them in tandem, out of order,
  and iteratively.
• Empathize
• Define
• Ideate
• Prototype
• Tests

Step 1 Empathize
You should be able to empathize with the problem
you're seeking to solve through user research.
The key to human-centered design is empathy, as
it allows you to put your worldview aside and
gain insight into the needs of consumers.

Step 2 Define
It's now time to compile the data obtained during
the Empathize stage. After that, you should
examine and synthesize your findings to define
the fundamental issues you and your team have
uncovered. Problem statements are the names given
to these definitions. Before moving on to
ideation, you can use personas to help maintain
your human-centered efforts.

Step 3 Ideate
Now you are ready for brainstorming! You may
begin to "think outside the box," explore new
perspectives on the problem, and come up with
creative solutions to the problem statement
you've built because you have a strong foundation
of facts from the previous two phases.
Brainstorming is a crucial aspect of the Design
Thinking Methodology.

Step 4 Prototype
This is the beginning phase of a trial period. To
find a good solution to each problem, a trial
period must be conducted. A scaled-down replica
of the product should be made to test the
concepts you've produced. This could be as simple
as generating a prototype on paper.
9
Step 5 Test
Last but not the least, you have to test your
prototypes rigorously. Even though this is the
last phase, design thinking is an iterative
process. Teams frequently use the results to
redefine one or more additional challenges. As a
result, you can go back to earlier phases to make
more iterations, changes, and refinements or rule
out different alternatives.
