What is design for IBM?

IBM Design

IBM Design

— Don Norman

“Designers… don’t try to search

for a solution until they have

determined the real problem,

and even then, instead of

solving

that problem, they stop to

consider

a wide range of potential

solutions.

Only then will they finally

converge

upon their proposal. This

process

is called ‘design thinking.’”

Hills

— Yogi Berra

“If you don’t know where you’re going, you might not get there.”

IBM Design

A Hill is a well-defined objective that enables you to focus and know when you’re done

40

‣Who? For a user or specific classes of users

‣What? Delivers easily understandable value directly to those users

‣Wow! Testable outcome that can be achieved within a defined delivery context (time and resources)

<persona name> or <class of users>

can <achieve something of value>

with/without/in/etc.

<metric(s)>

Recommended format

Hills should be easy to remember
