Lesson 3 - Analyzing Decision Matrices in Design

Front

What is the iterative design process?

Back

A cyclical process that involves repeated refinement and improvement of a design based on feedback and testing.

Front

What does 'iterative' mean in the context of design?

Back

A systematic trial by error approach that allows for continuous improvement.

Front

What is a decision matrix?

Back

A tool used to evaluate and prioritize different options based on specific criteria.

Front

What is the purpose of assigning weights in a decision matrix?

Back

To prioritize criteria based on their importance to the decision.

Front

How do you calculate the weighted score in a decision matrix?

Back

Multiply each score by its corresponding weight and sum the results.

Front

What is the formula for calculating the weighted score?

Back

Weighted Score = (Score1 * Weight1) + (Score2 * Weight2) + (Score3 * Weight3)

Front

What is the significance of conducting market research in design?

Back

It helps to understand user needs and market trends, but it is not a step in the iterative design process.

Front

What are the main steps in the iterative design process?

Back

Define the problem, develop solutions, test and evaluate, and refine the design.

Front

Why is the iterative design process considered cyclical?

Back

It allows for continuous improvement and refinement of the design through repeated iterations.

Front

What is the role of testing in the iterative design process?

Back

To evaluate the effectiveness of the design and identify areas for improvement.
