Reflection 

 The Challenge 

 The development of software systems that help decision makers in stressful situations make   timely and accurate decisions have to strike a delicate balance between presenting relevant   information to the operator , while not overwhelming them with too much information . This   challenge is further compounded by the difficulty of predicting the specific use case the operator   is using the system . To build the solution a small team of cognitive scientists , human systems   interface engineers , software engineers were directed to build this software system in a   compressed timeline to support emerging mission requirements . Vice employing traditional   waterfall software development practices , the team elected to employ agile software techniques   and design thinking approaches . Bringing together a multidisciplinary team of experts along with   actual operators / users the team could start to build prototypes of the system and place the   operators in simulations to see how changes to the system interface improved performance and   outcomes . 

 Tool Employment 

 The software team employed the rapid prototyping tool ( technique 8) , to take the ideas and   concepts fleshed out previously and start to shape them into views to validate them in   simulations with the actual operators . Stakeholders then created use cases and scenarios to   see how the prototype could be expanded . This low fidelity approach saved resources by not   employing developers and focused on the desired outcomes . Some developers were on hand   however to ensure the rapid prototypes did not exceed the capacity and capabilities resident in   the technology . As the prototypes were exercised additional downstream stakeholders were on   hand to further validate and experiment on the solution “ end to end . ”      As discussed in lecture launch lecture , the “ what wow ’s ” phase provides an opportunity to find   out what the user / customer really desires or needs , and will drive them to adopt the tool or   product . In the case of this reflection , we could rapidly experiment with different visualization ,   data interactions and other more radical approaches in a low threat creative environment . 

 Insight 

 Overall design thinking is a compelling approach to addressing challenging problems that require   more dramatic methods than an incremental evolutionary approach . In the case of the reflection the   ability to employ a creative , multidisciplinary team in a way that focuses on learning and challenging   assumptions . As we face more complex challenges in a more interdependent and competitive world ,   design thinking is likely to become increasingly important .
