Discovery Phase: Focuses on understanding users, their needs, and the product's context through user research, competitive analysis, and contextual inquiry.
Design Phase: Utilizes insights from the discovery phase to create and refine design solutions, involving ideation, prototyping, usability testing, and visual design.
Validation Phase: Assesses the effectiveness of the design solutions via A/B testing, analytics, metrics, and user feedback for further iteration.
FAQs
As the research can be done at many stages, I recommend you to be at one of these 3 phases:
· Early-stage process, willing to know your user.
· Early Design validation, interaction design stage (wireframes).
· High Fidelity prototype validation, just before development.
Depending on the chosen methodologies and the resources here you have some guidance:
· Interviews: 2-3 weeks
· Analytics: 2-3 weeks
· Usability tests: 2-3 weeks
