The Design Process (Double Diamond)
Part of the UI/UX Design Roadmap
In short
A framework describing 4 stages — Discover (diverge, research broadly), Define (converge, frame the problem), Develop (diverge, explore solutions), Deliver (converge, refine and ship) — moving between broad exploration and focused narrowing.
How to learn this
- 1Sketch a real or hypothetical project through all 4 Double Diamond stages.
- 2Identify which stage teams most commonly skip (usually Discover or Define).
- 3Learn why jumping straight to 'Develop' (solutions) without Discover/Define often produces the wrong solution well.
