Selecting
The category of selecting includes design tools that help you evaluate and select ideas or draft solutions. Some tools are intended for an initial general selection, whereas others offer a somewhat more thorough approach that is suitable for an advanced stage in the design process.
A number of general principles apply to each tool in the category of selecting.
- You can use most tools on your own, but they work best if you work with your team or even a larger group.
- The evaluations are estimations, but they do not show the actual performance of an idea or draft solution: that will take an assessment.
- The evaluations help identify considerations. This leads to well-argued designs and can contribute to fruitful talks with the target group, client or other stakeholders.
