Guide and Best Practices

A design thinking canvas is a framework that teams can use to systematically apply the design thinking principles to create innovative solutions to business problems. Use the design thinking canvas to create an action plan that charts a plan to take you from ideation to testing of a working prototype.

How to Use the Design Thinking Canvas

Open a design thinking canvas on a Creately workspace and invite contributors to the canvas to have discussions and make decisions together.
Begin by having a discussion on how you see the problem, try to define it as clearly and articulately as possible.
Once the problem is identified, decide as a group who this idea truly impacts.
The next stage is the discovery stage where you must plan how to address the problem.
This involves identifying assumptions you may have about the problem, recognizing gaps in your knowledge and key questions you need answers to.
After the discovery stage, your team can prepare itself for conducting the design sprint.
This involves taking the insights you have gathered from the discovery stage and creating several testable iterations of new directions.
