Numerous proven design patterns are readily accessible. Often, the implementation involves adapting existing patterns to specific technologies, which can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be devoted to design and testing. Training Goals This course has two goals: first, it allows you to reuse widely-known patterns, second, it allows you to create and reuse patterns specific to your organization. It helps you to estimate how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process and generate a code framework based on your patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers and developers as well as operational managers and software division managers. Course Style The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with a specific pattern. Most of the examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as showing you how to catalogue and describe patterns which can be reused across your organization.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) methodology comprises five distinct stages: empathize, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In today’s increasingly complex landscape, many challenges require specialized approaches. Design Thinking provides a framework for addressing these complexities. Mastering design thinking enables individuals to tackle difficult problems effectively, communicate with greater clarity, persuade more efficiently, improve business outcomes, and enhance both organizational and personal performance.

• Understanding DT dynamics: Learning from users and problems, identifying patterns, designing models (including model drift), testing the model, evaluating results, and re-engineering solutions.
• Exploring the connection between Design Thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
• Key DT methods and tools: personas, stakeholder mapping, customer journey mapping, service blueprints, and business model innovation.
• Practical applications of DT: cultivating a design mindset, driving disruptive innovation, applying an iterative approach, utilizing agile estimation techniques, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving, enhancing teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technological fluency, forward-thinking strategies, intercultural and ethical competencies, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiation abilities, and conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To grasp the fundamental principles and subtleties of Design Thinking.
• To explore core concepts, influencing factors, theories, types, and models within DT.
• To engage in experimentation, experiential learning, and practical application of DT.
