The design process is a _______________ problem-solving strategy that designers follow to come up with a solution to a problem.
Easy
Chaotic
Systematic
Disorderly
When working as a team you should only consider those ideas that will benefit the project
True
False
A benefit to using the design process when solving a problem is
It helps us be more organized as we work on our projects and guides us through all the steps to ensure success.
It forces us to treat each other with respect.
It does not help us to identify the problem in more detail, validate, and justify it before proceeding.
It ensures that only one idea is good for our solution.
