The HMW method stands for "How Might We", a creative problem-solving approach commonly used in design thinking, brainstorming, and innovation workshops. The goal of the method is to reframe challenges into opportunities by asking open-ended, optimistic questions that encourage collaboration and ideation.
How the HMW Method Works:
1️⃣ Identify the Problem or Challenge
Start by analyzing the problem you're trying to solve. It should be clear, concise, and user-centered.
2️⃣ Reframe the Problem as a "How Might We" Question
Convert the problem into one or multiple HMW questions that:
- Begin with "How Might We..."
- Are broad enough to encourage diverse ideas.
- Are specific enough to provide focus.
Example:
- Problem: "Users find the sign-up process frustrating."
- HMW Question: "How might we make the sign-up process more intuitive and enjoyable?"
3️⃣ Brainstorm Solutions
Using the HMW question, teams generate ideas without judgment. The format encourages thinking outside the box and exploring various possibilities.
4️⃣ Refine and Implement Ideas
Evaluate the ideas generated, prioritize them based on feasibility and impact, and implement the best solutions.

Что делать, когда набралась куча данных после исследования? Или вы провели мозговой штурм с командой и на канвасе более сотни идей? Как их структурировать для дальнейшего использования?
Affinity diagramming is a simple yet powerful UX tool for organizing complex data into meaningful categories. It’s especially helpful when tackling user research, brainstorming sessions, or planning new features.Affinity diagramming — это простой и мощный инструмент UX-дизайна для организации сложных данных в значимые категории. Он особенно полезен при анализе пользовательских исследований, мозговых штурмов или планировании новых функций.
How It Works:
1️⃣ Gather the Data: Collect user insights, feedback, or ideas—typically in the form of sticky notes or digital cards. Соберите данные: Скомпонуйте инсайты пользователей, отзывы или идеи — обычно в виде стикеров или цифровых карточек.
2️⃣ Group Similar Concepts: Cluster similar items together based on patterns or themes. Сгруппируйте похожие темы: Объедините схожие элементы на основе закономерностей или тем.
3️⃣ Label the Groups: Name each cluster to define its overarching idea or concept. Назовите группы: Придумайте название для каждой группы, чтобы обозначить её основную идею или концепцию.
This process makes it easier to spot connections, prioritize user needs, and uncover hidden opportunities.Этот процесс помогает выявлять связи, расставлять приоритеты пользовательских потребностей и находить скрытые возможности.
Example: After interviewing users about a food delivery app, clusters might include:
・Ease of navigation
・Delivery speed
・Payment methods
Why It Matters:
Affinity diagramming transforms overwhelming data into actionable insights, fostering collaboration and driving design decisions that truly resonate with users.
So next time you’re drowning in ideas, grab some sticky notes and get started!
