Second week of Memorisely UX/UI Bootcamp

Topics this week: data synthesis and ideation. 

What are my takeaways from this week?

I can divide the data from my survey into different user segments, which are 
➡️ trends
➡️ pain points
➡️ problems and
➡️ opportunities. 

Affinity mapping is a great way to further evaluate and group these results. The multiple grouping of answers provides an overview and makes prioritizing easier.

I also experienced that ideation is an important part of the design process. While the possibilities and directions tend to be defined more precisely during data analysis, ideation allows me to open my mind to new ideas. It is not about critically questioning every idea right away, but about approaching a problem without preconceptions and from new angles. 🙃

There are many ways to collect ideas. Besides mind mapping, which I particularly like, I especially liked the Crazy 8's technique. ➡️ Everyone draws 8 ideas on a blank piece of paper during 8 minutes. Fast sketching is key and leads to amazing ideas! ✏️💡

I'm already looking forward to week 3 and to dive even deeper into the world of UX together with all the other fantastic designers in this cohort! 🙌
