I have a challenge

How to go from a challenge to developing an idea that you test through a prototype.

1. Start here

You have found a challenge! A good first step is to do some research.

2. Circle the challenge

Now is the time to make your challenge as clear as possible.

3. Find friends and create a team

Working with a challenge yourself can be exciting, but doing it with others becomes both more fun and more effective.

4. Examine the need

Now you should examine what needs the users have linked to the challenge. Cool!

5. Find patterns and prioritize

Now that you probably have a lot of information about your users, it's time to create some structure and decide what to focus on.

6. Develop ideas

Now that you have selected a challenge, it is time to hatch ideas about how the challenge can be solved.

7. Surveillance around the world

Now you have an idea - great! With three simple steps, you can find out if you should go ahead with this idea.

8. Make your idea more concrete

What fun that you went ahead with your idea! After exploring your idea a bit in the first step, now is the time to start developing it further.

9. Make a prototype

Now you have an idea that others have shown interest in! The next step is to make a prototype!

10. Test the prototype

Let the testing begin! But how you test is as important as what you test.

11. Evaluate the test

Best in test! You tested your prototype and it's time to look at the results and see what you've learned.

12. What happens now?

Yes - No - or even bigger! How to proceed depends on the test results.
