Prototyping is the most important aspect of product development and determines the direction of the software, just as important as the architect’s drawings. The core purpose of prototyping is to test products, and no company can go straight to products and services without testing them. Prototyping is the initial stage of product development, the process of creating prototypes for products based on requirements. Prototypes are usually used for demonstration, testing, communication, etc. The prototype usually represents only a part of the characteristics of the product, but the input of prototype design is relatively small in the whole software development process, and it directly determines the future software development direction, so the input-output ratio is very high, so this process is very important.

I learned from reading articles and watching videos that design itself is a creation. Design without any innovation produces no value for the design itself. Innovation doesn’t just happen out of thin air. It can be achieved through hard work as knowledge of the nature of the problem deepens, experience and Patterns accumulate. Creativity is the ability to solve problems with as many original and feasible solutions as possible. Again powerful divergent thinking, no aggregation guide, the implementation of the ground, that is, a dish looks very beautiful scattered sand. Creativity is our primary product, working to come up with n solutions to our customers’ problems. Design Thinking is a set of scientific training methods to improve creativity, with a wide range of applicability. The biggest enemy of creative thinking is inertia. Worldview, living environment and intellectual background all influence people’s attitudes and ways of thinking about things and things, but the most important factor is past experience. There are a lot of experiences in life that can affect people’s thinking all the time.

When I read the contents of week 5, I learned that design is to show the diversity of human perspectives. It is easy to find design opportunities only based on existing experience. Generally speaking, this skill can make most design problems easily found. But we can actually use more methods to find problems that others haven’t found, which can lead to more innovation. To sum up, we need to listen, see and do more. By watching “fashion is the engine of innovation” I learned that the distribution of fashion is described as a movement from one element of society to another. Diffusion of influence from the center to edge can be designed in a layered or transverse manner.

Design thinking is a way of thinking, not a process, just as entrepreneurial thinking is not exactly the same as the entrepreneurial process. However, design thinking can well embed or cut into a highly unstructured process. In this process, the three Spaces of design thinking, including inspiration, conception, and realization, are always visited and examined by designers until an ideal solution is found. Good design is bound up with the design process, and all team members, regardless of their roles, are responsible for the design, because the process is design; The interface and the experience are the end result. In my view, the power of design thinking is to get people to be risk-takers, start with a creative assumption, make some tentative adjustments, see what impact it has on the business, and then repeat the process.
