- Feature analyse
- Interview
- Swot analyse
Phase 2
Define phase GigHub
Define stage combines all the research from the previous step, analyzing and observing who the core target audience of the app is,their demographics, and their pain points, challenges and frustrations ... The focus is to create a problem statement that captures the target's user central problem. Based on the research data collected in the previous step a persona an empathy map is also created which will guide and inform the design process moving forward.

Phase 3
Ideate phase GigHub
The ideate stage focuses on generating a range of ideas, thinking creatively and ... outside of the box with a focus on the user’s (personas and emathy map created) need , pain points, challanges, and frustration identified in the defined stage.

Phase 4
Prototype phase GigHub
Prototyping in UX design is an important phase in the design thinking process because it brings ideas generated in the previous step to life for early user testing with the focus catching and removing errors. ... By doing this early in the process it will save time and money because error has been eliminated early on before moving to the implementation stage. This is also an iterative process that helps to improve and validate the design early on and makes sure that the app feature and functionality is clutter free, intuitive while also making sure that the user experience is seamless and meets the core target user expectations without any confusion or difficulties.

Phase 5
Test phase GigHub
The testing phase is crucial in UX design. It helps gather valuable user feedback, ensuring the prototype created in the previous phase does not contain any issue, error or glitches that will confuse and create frustration for the end user when interacting with the app. ... Testing stages provide valuable insight into users behavior and preferences forming the foundation of data driven design improvement. This process makes sure that the design updates are effectively improving the user experience and the final product is intuitive and clutter free before moving on to the implementation phase
