The following is an excerpt from Wikipedia:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Wikipedia (http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Design_methods):<br \/>\n<strong>Design Methods<\/strong> is a broad area that focuses on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Divergence \u2013 Exploring possibilities and constraints of inherited situations by applying critical thinking through qualitative and quantitative research methods to create new understanding (problem space) toward better design solutions<\/li>\n<li>Transformation \u2013 Redefining specifications of design solutions which can lead to better guidelines for traditional and contemporary design activities (architecture, graphic, industrial, information, interaction, et al.) and\/or multidisciplinary response<\/li>\n<li>Convergence \u2013 Prototyping possible scenarios for better design solutions that incrementally or significantly improve the originally inherited situation<\/li>\n<li>Sustainability \u2013 Managing the process of exploring, redefining and prototyping of design solutions continually over time<\/li>\n<li>Articulation &#8211; the visual relationship between the parts and the whole.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The goal of design methods is to gain key insights or unique essential truths resulting in more holistic solutions in order to achieve better experiences for users with products, services, environments and systems they rely upon. Insight, in this case, is clear and deep investigation of a situation through design methods, thereby grasping the inner nature of things intuitively.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Where Process Meets Method<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen process and method are discussed, they tend to be used interchangeably. However, while they are two sides to the same coin, they are different. Process (lat. processus\u2013movement) is a naturally occurring or designed sequence of operations or events over time which produce desired outcomes. Process contains a series of actions, events, mechanisms, or steps, which contain methods. Method is a way of doing something, especially a systematic way through an orderly arrangement of specific techniques. Each method has a process.<br \/>\nFrom a pragmatic standpoint, design methods is concerned with the \u201chow\u201d and defining \u201cwhen\u201d things happen, and in what desired order. Design Methods is challenging to implement since there are not enough agreed-upon tools, techniques and language for consistent knowledge transfer. While there are many conceptual models and frameworks, there needs to be more granularity of tools and techniques. There are also many variables that affect outcomes since logic and intuition interplay with one another. Two people can therefore use the same method and arrive at different outcomes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This suggests that instead of viewing ADK as one simple method, we instead should establish multiple methods (&#8230;there needs to be more granularity of tools and techniques), which is the ultimate task of the different development fields. In order to give an overview of existing and new methods, I have proposed a matrix including all phases and procedures within the type of projects we are involved with. THis matrix then assembles methods, defines what part of the development organization is responisble for further development, and shows good examples within previous projects. This matrix is set up in our ADK development WIKI (a DocuWIKI Information Management system), and will reference more detailed information elsewhere in the WIKI.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_922\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-922\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.runberger.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/projektfaser1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-922\" title=\"projektfaser1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.runberger.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/projektfaser1.jpg\" alt=\"Project matrix in DocuWIKI\" width=\"500\" height=\"258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.runberger.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/projektfaser1.jpg 1380w, https:\/\/www.runberger.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/04\/projektfaser1-300x155.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Project matrix in DocuWIKI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The work commences in tch development organization at ssark.
