Process user feedback to improve designs. Build a testing, learning, and refining cycle for user-centered outcomes.

  • Design improvements via feedback.

  • Solutions ready for the next iteration.

Balance user feedback with your design vision. Not all feedback is equal. Focus on patterns, not isolated opinions. Don't be afraid to push back on feedback that doesn't align with the overall goals.

  1. Share feedback: Use methods like 'Share Inspiring Stories' to ensure team understanding.

  2. Synthesize: Create frameworks to organize insights. Brainstorm modifications and identify patterns.

  3. Document: Use a 'Prototype Report Card' to note successes and areas for improvement. Capture user quotes.

  4. Rebuild: Incorporate key feedback into the next iteration. Address user concerns.

  5. Iterate: Plan for multiple refinement rounds and testing cycles. Expect this to take time.
