Development Methodology

When developing new digital solutions, I approach each using a design thinking methodology know as 'The Design Thinking Microcycle'.  Adapted from the IDEO design and innovation agency’s five steps to get new ideas through integration, the design thinking micro cycle aims to identify issues, create solutions, prototype and test those solutions. The steps are cyclical, ensuring that the issue is both fully understood, and the solution is sufficiently tested.
