RESEARCH REVIEW

Picture the design thinking process as having the shape of two side-by-side diamonds. Certain points of the process require you to open up and expand your thinking. Next, you narrow down and zoom in on the most important elements. This is what the Research Review phase is about. At this crucial stage of the design process, the objective is to glean the right insights from your exploratory research and recognize the patterns that will lead you to user-centered ideation. We designed this template especially to guide you through these steps of analysis.
