Assumptions map

← Back to Design craft

 

What it is: a design artifact to build out over the course of a project to flag how big of a risk it is for an assumption to be wrong

When to use it:

  • Understanding the problem to solve

  • Getting everyone on the same page

How to use it

  • Fill out as many hypotheses as you can based on the information you have so far

  • Write out the questions that remain

  • Use this as a guide to prioritize work that can fill gaps in knowledge, that can test the riskiest assumptions or hypotheses

 

Set this up as a placemat and fill out as a team workshop
