Lesson Recap

Oops! If you were listening carefully in the video you'll hear Alex say: "It's now time to go on to Phase 3 of the Design Sprint." He mean to say "It's now time to go on to Phase 2 of the Design Sprint." You'll get to Phase 3 -- but not quite yet. ☺

You’ve reached the end of the Phase 1: Understand lesson. We covered the following topics:

• The Understand phase of the Design sprint
• Creating inputs to get a deeper understanding
• Responding to inputs through design thinking methods
  • How Might We
  • Rose Bud Thorn
• Identifying themes and related ideas through affinity mapping

At this point, you should be able to:

• Describe the Understand phase of the Design Sprint
• Describe how lightning talks can be used as an input during the Understand phase
• Describe how interviews can be used as an input during the Understand phase
• Describe how competitive analysis can be used as an input during the Understand phase
• Use the “How Might We” method to identify opportunities
• Use the “Rose Thorn Bud” method to classify things as positive, negative, or opportunities
• Use Affinity Mapping to identify thematic insights
