FAQs on Design Thinking & Product Development Using AI
This course is designed for Product Managers, UX/UI Designers, Instructional Designers, Engineers & Technical Leads, Innovation/Strategy Teams, Business Analysts, and anyone involved in product, service, or experience design.
Participants should have a basic understanding of product development or project workflows. Familiarity with digital products or services is recommended but not required, and no prior formal design training is necessary.
The course covers foundational design thinking principles, differentiating empathy from sympathy and compassion, analyzing user needs, defining clear problem statements, structured ideation techniques, assessing feasibility/viability/desirability, validation methods, and understanding trade-offs in agile versus traditional delivery frameworks.
The course is structured into five key phases: Overview (history and foundational principles), Empathy (user research methods), Define (scoping and problem framing), Ideate (concept generation techniques), and Prototype (feasibility, viability, and core interaction design).
No prior formal design training is required. The course is accessible to professionals from various backgrounds, including product, engineering, and business roles, as long as they have basic familiarity with product development workflows.
