Needfinding: Design Research and Planning: Design Research and Planning (4th Edition)

Good

Yes, I was surprised how short it is but I would argue that is a result of good communication skills. Who says a book has to be long to be useful?I would even argue that many design process and strategy books are mostly fluff. I honestly bring this thing with me to research and ideation sessions. I can hand this to team members without design experience and they can quickly adopt some useful tips and tricks.Yes, its short and you don't need a Masters to grasp that concepts, but that's what good design is!

The book's description details the content, so I will simply write that of all the material I taught in my classes last fall, this book was the most popular. It is a book of exercises, ideal for the interactive learner.

More of an outline than a finished book.

Boring read.
