SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Apply IDEO-style design thinking methodology to solve complex problems creatively, then present the analysis on canvas and/or as a web artifact.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Three frameworks (Double Diamond, GV Design Sprint, JTBD Switch Interview) guide problem framing, ideation, and validation.
  • Core tools (HMW, Crazy 8s, Assumption Mapping, Empathy Map, 5-Act Interview) surface insights and structure exploration.
  • Outputs are canvas-ready or web artifacts for stakeholder storytelling and decision making.

Quick Start

Start by identifying a user problem, selecting a framework, and outlining a concise problem statement to begin the analysis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I apply design thinking frameworks to map ambiguous problems?▼

You can apply design thinking frameworks to map ambiguous problems by selecting Double Diamond, GV Design Sprint, or JTBD Switch Interview methods to generate structured, human-centered analyses suitable for canvas boards or web artifacts.

What is the best way to structure human-centered design insights for stakeholder storytelling?▼

The best way to structure human-centered design insights for stakeholder storytelling is using tools like Empathy Maps, Assumption Mapping, and HMW questions to surface insights and output canvas-ready or web artifacts for decision making.

How do I conduct a JTBD Switch Interview for creative problem-solving?▼

To conduct a JTBD Switch Interview for creative problem-solving, you use the framework to frame problems and validate solutions, applying the 5-Act Interview structure to surface user insights across ambiguous contexts.

Can I use design thinking tools to generate canvas-ready prototypes?▼

Yes, you can use design thinking tools like Crazy 8s and Assumption Mapping to generate structured analyses that are directly output as canvas-ready prototypes or web artifacts for stakeholder review.

Do I need a specific environment setup to start a human-centered design analysis?▼

You need to define a concise problem statement and select a framework to start a human-centered design analysis; the process requires a YAML frontmatter in SKILL.md with at least name and description to load context and resources.

When should I use Double Diamond versus GV Design Sprint for problem framing?▼

Use Double Diamond for broad problem framing and ideation, and choose GV Design Sprint when you need a structured sprint approach for rapid validation, as both are IDEO-style design thinking frameworks applied across ambiguous contexts.
