Frequently asked questions

What are the five stages of design thinking?＋

Empathize (understand users), Define (frame the problem), Ideate (generate ideas), Prototype (build to learn) and Test (validate with users).

Is design thinking only for designers?＋

No — it's a problem-solving approach used by product teams, managers and founders for any human-centred challenge.

Do I have to do the stages in order?＋

It's a guide, not a straitjacket. Teams often loop back — for example, testing can send you back to ideate.
