focus?
Goal: Evaluate solution ideas and select one to move forward to the
prototyping stage. Duration: 10 minutes
Arrange your ideas so that you can see all of them together.
Now, do the
following:
Organize similar ideas into a group. Groups could be based on: type
of solution (ex: digital solution), solution element (ex: involves
heating device), or another category that makes sense to you
Did you think of a solution that you think already exists? What
features would you keep? How could you improve the existing solution?
*For the sake of this project, do not worry about checking all of your
ideas to see if they currently exist.*
Could some of your ideas be combined and work better?
Are there
certain ideas that would seem better if a particular aspect were
removed?
Designers often identify insights about their users which help them
create more empathic and innovative solutions. An insight is a unique
quality about a user that informs a design decision. What insights have
you learned about your user that might help you determine which
solutions seem like the best to move forward with?
Example: In my
interview I discovered that my user loves to eat eggs for breakfast. I
should consider this as I design my solution.
Consider different criteria to help you sort through your ideas:
Which is most creative? Most realistic? Most efficient? Use any criteria
that seems helpful to you.
Select one idea that seems especially promising; you’ll use this idea to
create low-fidelity prototypes in the next step of this assignment.

- need to focus on getting adequate sleep so
that he can then have the energy / drive to address the other matters -
negotiating with father; focusing on his goals; managing time
