WHY create how might we questions
为什么创造我们怎么可能这些问题?
“How might we”(HMW) questions are short questions that launch brainstorms.
我们怎么可能的问题是进行头脑风暴的简短问题。
HMWs fall out of your point-of-view statement or design principles as seeds for your ideation.
HMWs 是放弃你的观点陈述或者设计原则作为你构思的源泉。
Create a seed that is broad enough that there are a wide range of solutions but narrow enough that the team has some helpful boundaries.
创建这个源泉可以有足够多的一系列解决方案,而且也可以给小团队有很大的帮助。
For example,between the too narrow "HMW create a cone to eat ice cream without dripping" and the too broad "HMW redesign dessert" might be the properly scoped "HMW redesign ice cream to be more portable."
例如,在两个太狭窄“HMW 吃圆锥形的冰淇淋不乱滴水”和太宽的“HMW 重新设计餐后甜点”可能是适当的范围“HMW 重新设计冰淇淋变得更方便”
it should be noted,
它应该被注意,
the the proper scope of the seed will vary with the project and how much progress you have made in your project work.
在适当的范围寻找灵感将会改变项目并且在你的项目工作中有更多的进步。
