Reframe your root cause into opportunity questions — then vote on the best one to pursue.
How it works: Take your root cause and write 9 "How Might We…" questions. Start every sticky with HMW… Keep them open-ended — not solutions. Aim for variety: some narrow, some wild. Then vote with dots (Step 2) and pick the best one to prototype.
Step 1 — Generate 9 HMW Questions
HMW #1
HMW #2
HMW #3
HMW #4
HMW #5
HMW #6
HMW #7
HMW #8
HMW #9
Step 2 — Note-and-Vote (GDS Method)
Copy your top HMW questions below. Each person gets 3 dots — click to cast a vote. No discussion yet.
Bring this to Print 03 (Prototype Plan). This becomes your design challenge.
