focus your attention

part a: try it

there are several phases in working with a case study.

the first phase is to understand the story of the case study; in this phase you make sure you know the important facts; you need to know who was involved, the people mentioned and when things happened, a timeline of events.

once you understand the story of the case study, then you begin the second phase.

you identified key issues in the case.

in this phase the goal is to find the important actions and decisions taken during the process.

look for what made the new design successful or not successful.

then we move on to the final phase, thinking of other possible actions.

in this phase, you focus on the things the group didn’t do.

you ask what mistakes did the design group make and what can we do differently?

in this final phase, you also think of other possible actions the group could’ve taken.
