1️⃣ Understand

In the understand phase, we put ourselves in the users’ shoes and understand their likes & dislikes, context, needs, pain points, etc.

Meanwhile, we learn about the business: What is the money-making model? What are the metrics to measure business success?

2️⃣ Define

In the Define phase, we work with the team, especially the product manager to discover problems and opportunities.

The ability to gather insights, synthesize data, and abstract input to a problem is very important.

3️⃣ Ideate

Come up with ideas that create a win-win situation for both users and the business. Involve the team, so everyone can contribute their own expertise.

Make sure ideas are planed and will land in the product eventually. Also, think about how to measure success.

4️⃣ Execute

This phase is about making and communicating.

Theoretical knowledge is the base, empathy for users is a must-have, and feedback from developers helps us succeed.

A thorough user flow and prototype are helpful to present concepts.

5️⃣ Validate

Make sure qualitative study is done at the beginning, so you have a solid ground to advocate for your users.

Don't forget to follow up after validation — what can you improve? What are the new opportunities? Do you need more validation?
