It argues that effective framing begins by collecting relevant concepts, needs, requirements, stakeholders, constraints, assumptions, and unknowns, then connecting those elements to generate insight; it identifies the kernel as "collect, connect, commit." ### Source excerpt What you need before you have a problem worth solving A few weeks ago, I caught up with my good friend Lucas Mara, a thoughtful design leader. We were deep in a conversation about the value of design in the age of AI when he mentioned Richard Rumelt's classic, Good Strategy Bad Strategy. It had The post A Problem Framing Kernel appeared first on UX Magazine. ## The Design Process and Agile Development: Part 1 -- Design Is Collaborative DevFeed: [The Design Process and Agile Development: Part 1 -- Design Is Collaborative]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Daisy Mølving Published: 2026-02-05T06:00:00Z Content type: opinion Language: en Sources: [8th Light Insights]() Topics: [Agile](), [User experience (UX)](), [Development](), [Self-organizing Team]() Tags: [agile](), [delivery-and-practice](), [design-thinking](), [development](), [development-process](), [experiential-design](), [product-strategy-innovation](), [research](), [teams](), [user-experience](), [ux-design]() ### AI overview Part 1 of a series examines how design thinking and UX research can work alongside Agile development. It argues that iterative design and Agile delivery are compatible, while noting the tension between research needs, rapid timelines, client goals, and incremental development. ### Source excerpt This is Part 1 in our blog series on how the design process works alongside Agile methodology to produce results within an integrated team. Updated 2/5/2026. Originally published 2/2/2024 When it comes to developing new software, not every designer approaches the task the same way. While some use a design thinking approach, looking at the tasks from a user perspective, others use Agile methods, approaching it from an iterative project management standpoint. However, the two approaches are not mutually exclusive. The most successful designers approach their tasks using design thinking which helps inform prioritization within the Agile methodology. High performing teams delivering outcomes through the agile methodology do so with confidence when they know solutions are informed by the voice of the user. Working with Design Thinking and Agile Timelines Designers who've worked alongside Agile methodologies have likely felt the pressure of Agile timelines conflicting with the need for comprehensive design. While the approaches may feel conflicting at first, it's important to remember that both design and Agile methodologies emphasize the importance of working in small iterations to develop products that constantly evolve-- focusing on the smallest modifications that lead to making valuable products and building upon them. However, with its need for preliminary research, I've observed that user experience (UX) design can give Agile practitioners the impression of a waterfall process. Agile teams want to deliver quickly and continue iterating on the project after receiving feedback. As a UX designer, it is my responsibility to establish and fulfil the human need by talking to some users and conducting competitor research before we dive blindly into development. Working as a UX designer in this environment can feel like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place. You have a client who cares about the bottom line and wants to get to market quickly and a development team of ## Rethinking a design thinking workshop for good DevFeed: [Rethinking a design thinking workshop for good]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Miggi Cardona Published: 2021-08-25T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [Figma Blog]() Topics: [Figma](), [zoom](), [App]() Tags: [app](), [building-products](), [collaboration](), [design-thinking](), [figma](), [learning](), [process](), [remote](), [workshops](), [zoom]() ### AI overview Design the Future used Figma and FigJam to adapt a design thinking summer workshop for remote learning.
