Take the problems and solutions youʼve defined,sketched and named and present these back to your

group (1 minute each).

VoteAs a group, vote for the individual problem/solutionyou now want to take forward to solve as a group.

Weʼre looking for one to develop further as agroup within a sketch brainstorm


10 min10 min

6. Sketch brainstormSit in silence and sketch as many propositions

that might solve the problem.When you have sketched something, hold it up

and explain it to the group before placing it in the middle and sketching another one.

Sketch the way these propositions might work as:• A web application on a desktop, in a browser

• Mobile/portable products or services on a phone or tablet• Something else - donʼt feel limited by ʻdevicesʼ or

ʻplatformsʼ. Perhaps your idea exists across the digitaland physical world (e.g. as a book as well as a digital

service; as an installation, wall or screen)~20 min

7. Review & create a Minimum Viable Product

Lay out all of the propositions you just sketched and decidewhich one is the strongest.For the solution write down:

HomeworkThink of what you would do next.

What simple tests, prototypes, interviews would you create/carry out to iterate the product youʼve designed?

How else can you prove people will use it before you start building?
