Design: Recommended Path
Complete the Design phase step by step
The main objective of the design phase is to transform identified challenges into concrete solutions that are technically feasible and viable. The steps proposed below will help you achieve this.
At the end of this guided path, you will have:
- analysed different ideas to solve the identified challenges and selected the best ones to prototype
- created a prototype to showcase how your idea should work
- developed a target technical architecture for your proposed solution that addresses stakeholder concerns
- received feedback about your solution ideas
