Step 1

List the problem statements (challenges) you have identified earlier. These should be accessible to everyone in the session. If you have several challenges, then prioritize them first.

Step 2

Divide into groups where each tackles a challenge.
‍

Step 3

For each challenge, spend 15 minutes on turning them into How Might We (HMW) questions. Check the Miro board for the guidelines.
‍

Step 4

As a group, select your favorite questions generated and present them to other groups. Have a conversation about the questions and which ones relate better to the challenge.
‍

Step 5

Prioritize the HMW questions, these will be used in the ideation sessions (brainstorming) to start generating solutions

‍

🚀 OUTCOME

• Generate HMW questions that will later act as the seed of ideas. These questions, being generated from challenges, will ensure you that ideate for the right problems.

💡TIPS

• Refrain from adding solutions in your HMW questions. It is easy to fall into this trap. Doing so will lead to fewer creative ideas being suggested.
  - Ex. If the challenge is that users have difficulty choosing the right product, a good HMW question would be: HMW make users confident in choosing their products correctly | a poor HMW question would be,: HMW tell users which product to choose
• Similar to Defining the Problem Statement activity, questions shouldn’t be too broad nor too focused. Questions need to generate the solutions you are hoping to achieve.
