Design Team Framing: Paths and Principles
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses two major challenges new product development teams face in making a product people want. The first challenge is to frame the design situation based on a real need of a customer. The second, less obvious, challenge is to get everyone on the team in agreement about what that framing is everyone needs to be on the same page about what it is they're doing. Yet these two challenges are not independent, they are intertwined with each other, connected by the concrete research and sharing activities the teams perform. We introduce a framework to help understand the path of a design team along these two dimensions as well as illustrations of the three most common paths observed among graduate multidisciplinary new product development teams as supported by interviews and survey data. These case studies form the basis of four themes and twelve design principles to help teams navigate the new product development process.

متن کاملFraming Bias in the Interpretation of Quality Improvement Data: Evidence From an Experiment
Background A growing body of public management literature sheds light on potential shortcomings to quality improvement (QI) and performance management efforts. These challenges stem from heuristics individuals use when interpreting data. Evidence from studies of citizens suggests that individuals’ evaluation of data is influenced by the linguistic framing or context of that information an...

As software development becomes increasingly globally distributed, a potential challenge for organizations using agile methodologies is the design of their development teams. Using a case study approach, Cohen’s updated model of the Informing Science framework served as a means for framing the discussion of global agile team design related to the components of task, environmental context, and d...
متن کاملFraming and reframing – the emergence of design constraints
Open-ended problems provides a window for innovations, but understanding the actual problem is challenging. Typically, teams might settle on their first impression as the design problem. Such an approach usually ends up in, not a bad solution, but in a solution that might not solve the right problem. Radical innovation literature suggests that teams should challenge their perspective of the pro...
متن کاملDesigning Software to Facilitate Shared Understanding in Collaborative Design Teams
In co-located collaborative design meetings, product designers share and exchange independently gathered or generated information with their team in order to reach a shared understanding of the design space. This allows the team to make well-informed, coordinated decisions throughout the design process. The Prodigy Project seeks to develop better tools for product designers to exchange informat...
