Double Diamond Framework
In every project I undertake, I apply a personalized approach while adhering to the Double Diamond Framework 💎 This framework encompasses four distinct phases: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver. Each phase involves specific activities and objectives designed to guide problem solvers towards effective solutions.
The Double Diamond Framework is built on three key principles: empathy, collaboration, and iteration. By placing users at the center of the problem-solving process, working collaboratively with diverse stakeholders, and continuously refining ideas, this framework ensures a comprehensive approach to solving problems 💡
