Implementing

Implementing

The category of implementing includes design tools that let you create an overview of things needed to implement the designed solution. The tools presuppose that you are at a fairly advanced stage of the design process, where it is clear what the solution will be. Each tool lets you think about a distinct aspect that is relevant to implementation. This provides the basis for the solution’s further development and implementation, or a recommendation that can contribute to the successful transfer of your design.

A number of general principles apply to each tool in the category:

1. The implementation of solutions often is not just a technical but also a social matter. The tools are mainly aimed at the social aspect and help you involve relevant stakeholders in the implementation.
2. Use the tools to gain a clear understanding of what is needed to implement the solution, but definitely also for communication. Each tool lays the basis for developing visual representations that are useful when communicating with the target group, client and other relevant stakeholders – for example, when giving presentations or pitches, during consultations or in reports.
3. The tools complement each other, so combine them.
