“…Gerber developed Mockups as a tool to teach prototyping principles and mindsets, while engaging teams at the start of a project (Gerber, 2015). User journey diagrams, empathy maps, and personas are commonly used tools during the discovery phase of a project to gain empathy and understanding of the opportunity and users (IDEO, 2015;Camburn et al, 2017b). The popularity of online platforms that share design tools and methods, like IDEO's Design Kit (designkit.org;IDEO, 2015) or Berkeley and MIT's Design Exchange (thedesignexchange.org;Roshuni et al, 2015), points to the utility and need for such design tools.…”

“…The professionals were from two large organizations, groups one and two were from the same engineering and defense company and group three was from a telecommunications company. These professionals were trained in the Design Innovation process over 2 or 3 days, where they actively engaged in all 4 stages of the process: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver on their own company ICED19 design challenges (Camburn et al, 2017b). These challenges ranged from designing for autonomous vehicles to enhancing safety protocol in the field to planning for the future of 5G networks.…”

While prototypes are critical to the creation of successful products and innovative solutions, building a prototype is characterized by large sunk costs and a plethora of unknowns. The versatility and effectiveness of prototypes paired with the ambiguous nature of developing a prototype can lead to wasted resources. Recent studies support this claim, demonstrating that under certain circumstances, designers often prototype without a clear purpose, building prototypes as a function of the design process rather than as a function of the design. These findings motivated the creation of the Prototyping Canvas, a tool to aid designers in planning for purposeful prototypes by identifying critical assumptions and questions to guide development. Business and engineering design literature influenced the development of the canvas, which was first tested with a client project in the SUTD-MIT International Design Centre (IDC). The feedback and insights from the design team guided revisions to the canvas. The updated canvas was then validated with 55 professionals during a design project sprint. The purpose of this paper is to present the Prototyping Canvas as a valid and effective design tool.

“…Some review papers focus on general design or "engineering design" models, including the work of Evbuomwan et al [1], Gericke and Blessing [2], and Chakrabarti and Blessing [3]. Some more comprehensive reviews of more specific design methods and tools include those of Camburn et al [4], Foo et al [5], and the Design Exchange [6], which focus on design approaches across each stage of the design process. More specialized to the software engineering discipline, Munassar and Govardhan [7], Bhuvaneswari and Prabaharan [8], and Arora and Arora [9] conducted reviews that focus on Software Development Life Cycle approaches.…”

Many different product development approaches are taught and used in engineering and management disciplines. These formalized design methods, processes, and environments differ in the types of projects for which they are relevant, the project components they include, and the support they provide users. This paper details a review of sixteen well-established product development approaches, the development of a decision support system to help designers and managers navigate these approaches, and the administration of a survey to gather subjective assessments and feedback from design experts. The included approaches-design thinking, systems thinking, total quality management, agile development, waterfall process, engineering design, spiral model, vee model, axiomatic design, value-driven design, decision-based design, lean manufacturing, six sigma, theory of constraints, scrum, and extreme programming-are categorized based on six criteria: complexity, guidance, phase, hardware or software applicability, values, and users. A decision support system referred to as the Product Development Approach Advisor (PD Advisor) is developed to aid designers in navigating these approaches and selecting an appropriate approach based on specific project needs. Next, a survey is conducted with design experts to gather feedback on the support system and the categorization of approaches and criteria. The survey results are compared to the original classification of approaches by the authors to validate and provide feedback on the PD Advisor. The findings highlight the value and limitations of the PD Advisor for product development practice and education, as well as the opportunities for future work.

“…To provide some context to these projects, we introduce the Design Innovation Process Model (shown in Figure 3) -a systematic approach used in these projects for achieving success [11,42]. This model is distinguished by its approach of breaking down design innovation process into 4 main areas or phases -Discover, Define, Develop and Deliver.…”

Economic use of early stage prototyping is of paramount importance to companies engaged in the development of innovative products, services and systems because it directly impacts their bottom-line [1, 2]. There is likewise a need to understand the dimensions and lenses that make up an economic profile of prototypes. Yet, there is no reliable understanding of how resources expended and views of dimensionality across prototyping translate into value [3, 4]. To help practitioners, designers, and researchers leverage prototyping most economically, we seek to understand the tradeoff between design information gained and the resource expended into prototyping to gain that information [5]. We investigate this topic by conducting an inductive study on industry projects across disciplines and knowledge domains, while collecting and analyzing empirical data on their physical prototyping process [3]. Our research explores ways of quantifying prototyping value and reinforcing the asymptotic relationship between value and fidelity [6]. Most intriguingly, it reveals insightful heuristics that practitioners can exploit to generate high value from low and high fidelity prototypes alike.
