My approach & Expertise
During discovery he tries to better understand the user needs. It’s important making a new product or feature that solves a real user problem. Through discovery, he can figure out if it makes sense to do the project at all.
If he discovered a real user need during discovery, he can address the problem and defined scope by conducting exploratory research methods and iterations.
Testing by validating design solutions during and after implementation are important. Test and listen methods are ways to continuously listen to real end users and improve their experiences.
