Updated Table of Five Design Models




A collection of design models


I recently added a new row to the table of design methodologies that shows some examples after a request from a reader: A Table of Design Models: Instructional, Thinking, Agile, System, or X Problems?


I would be interested to know if the examples are helpful.

A Table of Design Methodologies: Instructional, Thinking, Agile, System, or X Problems?


A collection of design models
With so many design models to choose from, what should I use? To help with the answer I created a table of five design methodologies that may assist you in choosing a model to start from:
  • Instructional System Design
  • Design Thinking
  • Agile Design
  • System Thinking
  • X Problems
The table includes their definitions, visual models, primary focus and goals, values, main steps, and further readings (web links). Note that models are only guides on the sides, not sages on the stages, so don't hesitate to mix, match and adapt to help you arrive at a perfect solution to a difficult problem.
Let me know what you think.
