Algorithm/Procedure:
Empathize: Begin by conducting user research and interviews to gain insights into potential user needs
and pain points related to smartphone usage.
Define: Analyze the gathered information to define a clear and specific problem statement. For example,
"Users need a more efficient way to track their daily fitness activities."
Ideate: Organize brainstorming sessions with a diverse team to generate a wide range of creative
solutions. Encourage free thinking and open collaboration.
Prototype: Create a low-fidelity prototype of the smartphone app. This can be a paper sketch or a digital
wireframe that represents the app's basic functionality.
Test: Conduct user testing sessions with a small group of potential users. Observe how they interact
with the prototype and gather feedback.
Iterate: Based on user feedback, refine the prototype and make necessary improvements to address user
concerns or suggestions.
Prototype (Again):Create a more advanced prototype, closer to the final product. It should incorporate
the changes and improvements identified during the initial testing phase.
Test (Again):Conduct another round of user testing, this time with a larger group of users. Gather data
on usability, functionality, and overall user experience.
Refine: Analyze the results of the second testing phase and make further refinements to the app design
and functionality.
Implement: Develop the final version of the smartphone app, incorporating all the changes and
improvements identified during the design thinking process.
Test (Final Testing):Conduct thorough testing of the fully developed app to ensure it's bug-free and
ready for launch.
Launch: Release the app to the target market, accompanied by marketing and promotion efforts.
Example:
Let's say the team is designing a fitness tracking app. During the "Empathize" phase, they conduct
interviews and surveys with potential users, discovering that users find it challenging to keep track of
their daily physical activities. In the "Define" phase, they define the problem as "Users need a more
efficient way to track their daily fitness activities."
In the "Ideate" phase, the team generates multiple ideas, including features like GPS tracking, step
counting, and customizable fitness goals. They create a low-fidelity prototype that represents these
features. In the first round of user testing, they observe that users have difficulty navigating the app.
After gathering feedback and identifying navigation issues, the team iterates by redesigning the user
interface to improve user experience. They create an advanced prototype with a more intuitive interface
and test it with a larger group of users in the second round of testing.
Based on this testing, the team further refines the app, making sure it's user-friendly, bug-free, and meets
the needs of the target audience. Finally, they implement and launch the fitness tracking app to help
users easily track their daily activities.
