UX Tools For Better Thinking

UX Tools For Better Thinking (https://untools.co), a wonderful collection of tools and frameworks to help you solve design problems, make better decisions, resolve conflicts and communicate better โ€” with templates, sheets and useful resources, all neatly put together in one single place by Adam Amran. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ

Personally, I typically use a handful of thinking tools:

โŒพ Six Thinking Hats for brainstorming,
โŒพ Impact / Value curves for prioritization,
โŒพ Iceberg Model for systems thinking,
โŒพ Zenko Mapping for finding roadblocks,
โŒพ Event Storming for mapping data/user flows.

I can also wholeheartedly recommend a wonderful overview of how to choose the right thinking tool โ€” with useful pointers on how to choose the right tool for the right task at hand:

Also highly recommended: Playbook For Universal Design, a fantastic little helper with inclusive design methods for UX workshops, with practical guidelines on how to accommodate participants with diverse abilities โ€” and each method includes step-by-step guidelines, video introductions, facilitating guides, materials and PDF/Powerpoint templates.
