Obiettivo:

A core metodo in Design Sprints where participants sketch eight different ideas in eight minutes.

Come si usa:

Each participant folds a piece of paper into eight sections and is timed to sketch one idea in each section in one minute. The focus is on rapid idea generation, not quality.

Professionisti

Generates a large quantity of diverse ideas in a very short amount of time; pushes participants beyond their first, most obvious ideas; encourages visual thinking.

Contro

The pace can be stressful for some participants; ideas are by necessity underdeveloped and superficial; it favors quantity over quality.

Categorie:

Ideazione, Progettazione del prodotto

Ideale per:

Pushing a team to generate a wide variety of potential solutions to a problem in a short amount of time.

Crazy 8’s is widely utilized in various project phases, particularly during the ideation stage, where teams are tasked with exploring numerous potential solutions to a sfida di design. This methodology is beneficial in industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, and software development, where rapid innovation is essential to stay competitive. For instance, a team designing a new mobile application might use Crazy 8’s to brainstorm diverse features or user interface concepts quickly, ensuring they consider a broad range of ideas before honing in on a narrower selection. The process can involve cross-functional teams, including designers, engineers, and marketers, who each bring unique perspectives to the table, enhancing the overall creative output. Facilitators often initiate sessions, ensuring a supportive environment that encourages risk-taking and unconventional thinking. During these sessions, participants are encouraged to think visually and push past conventional boundaries, which can lead to innovative breakthroughs not immediately visible through traditional brainstorming methods. This technique also serves as a warm-up exercise, getting team members actively engaged and thinking creatively before diving deeper into other design methodologies.
