Test
: Understand the user’s needs through research and observation. Techniques like user
interviews, surveys, and field observations can provide valuable insights into user experiences.
Empathize
: Clearly articulate the problem you are trying to solve. This stage involves synthesizing user insights into a clear problem statement or “point of view.”
Define
: Brainstorm a wide range of ideas and solutions. Techniques such as brainstorming
sessions and creative workshops can stimulate innovative thinking.
Ideate
: Create low-fidelity representations of your ideas.
Prototype
: Gather feedback from users and refine your solutions. This stage emphasizes learning from failure and iterating based on user feedback.

Emphaty Map
Customer Journey Map
: Visual tools that help teams document user insights, capturing what users say,
think, do, and feel.
Empathy Maps
is a visualization that captures our understanding of a set of users.

It is a
simple yet powerful tool for making sense of user research and communicating what we know
about our users to design-team partners and stakeholders so that we can discuss and prioritize
user needs collaboratively
