# Design Thinking Workflow
|
|
|
|
**Type:** Interactive Document Workflow
|
|
**Module:** Creative Intelligence System (CIS)
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
Guides human-centered design processes through the complete design thinking methodology: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test. Creates solutions deeply rooted in user needs by combining empathy-driven research with systematic creative problem-solving.
|
|
|
|
## Distinctive Features
|
|
|
|
- **Phase-Based Structure**: Full five-phase design thinking journey from empathy to testing
|
|
- **Method Library**: Curated collection of design methods in `design-methods.csv` organized by phase
|
|
- **Context Integration**: Accepts design briefs or user research via data attribute
|
|
- **Facilitation Principles**: Guides divergent thinking before convergent action, emphasizes rapid prototyping over discussion
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Basic invocation
|
|
workflow design-thinking
|
|
|
|
# With project context
|
|
workflow design-thinking --data /path/to/product-context.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Inputs
|
|
|
|
- **design_challenge**: Problem or opportunity being explored
|
|
- **users_stakeholders**: Primary users and affected parties
|
|
- **constraints**: Time, budget, technology limitations
|
|
- **recommended_inputs**: Existing research or context documents
|
|
|
|
## Outputs
|
|
|
|
**File:** `{output_folder}/design-thinking-{date}.md`
|
|
|
|
**Structure:**
|
|
|
|
- Design challenge statement and point-of-view
|
|
- User insights and empathy mapping
|
|
- "How Might We" questions and problem framing
|
|
- Generated solution concepts
|
|
- Prototype designs and test plans
|
|
- Validated learning and iteration roadmap
|
|
|
|
