What is The Double Diamond design process?

The Double Diamond design process is a highly versatile and scalable method that helps us approach design challenges in an organised, strategic, and effective manner. We use this method to uncover the right problem, quickly prototype solutions, and deliver the right solutions for our customers. The process consists of four phases, namely, Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver.

1. Discover: This is the initial phase of the process where we research and explore the problem's context, including user needs, business goals, and other relevant factors.
2. Define: After identifying the problem, our team progresses to the definition phase. Here, we refine the problem's focus, develop user personas, and define the design's scope and requirements. These are design methods we use to put ourselves in your shoes and gain a deeper understanding of your business problems and solutions.
3. Develop: During the development phase, we ideate, prototype, and test potential solutions to the problem. The design and development teams work together in this phase to deliver features/products for your business.
4. Deliver: The delivery phase involves delivering the final product or solution that solves the problem. However, this is not the end of our partnership. We will continue to iterate and provide solutions that meet your evolving needs.
