• User Research & Usability Testing

Your project in Design Week is to create a wireframe in Figma and test it with your user group.

Take ideas from your Definition workshop and the sketches you did there. You can consider the ideas you came up with there as low-fidelity prototypes and with Figma, you'll create a high-fidelity prototype.

Your wireframe should include the main steps of the user journey. Think about which parts of the journey you'd like to get feedback on from your users and prioritise building these.

This week, spikes will be in your project groups.

Use this as an opportunity to read and explore documentation on a new technology that you might need for your project, or to find a definitive answer for some of the "How might we" questions that came up during the definition workshop.

If you are looking into new tech, here's a checklist to keep in mind during your research.

• List out your needs, and compare them to a list of the pros and cons of the technology you're looking at.
