What Is the Double Diamond Model?
The double diamond model is a design thinking framework that breaks down the design process into four stages to discover, define, develop and deliver the project. Designers can use this method to streamline their creative thinking process. The model puts emphasis on convergent and divergent thinking, where first, ideas are created, before refining and prioritizing them. This takes place twice in this model—once to confirm the problem definition and once to create the solution.
How to Use the Double Diamond Method?
- Open a Creately double diamond model template and add stakeholders as editors to the workspace to collaborate on brainstorming.
- Start by exploring problems or the target project. Identify and analyze the root cause of the problem. Collect as much information and data as possible about the design challenge to understand it better.
- Narrow down ideas into a clear definition of the problem. To do so, analyze the evidence you have gathered and filter ideas to reach a workable clear brief.
- Build prototypes of the solution you have developed and test it involving the end-user. It’s important to have the target user defined and his/her characteristics identified in order to build a prototype that will resonate with them.
- Once the prototype is delivered, collect feedback from the end-users and experts. These feedback will be used to improve the future versions of the product.
