\"about\"\r\nThe Digital Society School Design Method Toolkit enables you to get started and enrich your design process. A collection of design and research methods: categorised to help you select, time based to help you plan. Plan and execute your design research, ideation, experimentation and creation within short iterations.\r\n<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\"agile_world\"<\/div>\r\n
\r\n\r\nDetailed task-based descriptions help teams divide and assign tasks between team members. This makes the Design Method Toolkit perfect for lean, agile environments and multidisciplinary teams.\r\n\r\nUse the Design Method Toolkit in combination with the DMT Plan Board, your Scrum Board and experience it\u2019s full potential!\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

In an ideal design process there is a constant flow between researching and creating. That is why these cards are divided into two types, Research and Create.<\/div>\r\n

Research focuses on gathering information and making sense of it.\r\nThe results of the research methods will give you insights that will supply new design criteria.<\/div>\r\n
Create focuses on having a tangible object (report, visualization, prototype, etc) that you can show.\r\nThe output of the create methods may propose new research material.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
