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 — with templates, sheets and useful resources, all neatly put together in one single place by Adam Amran. 👏🏽
Personally, I typically use a handful of thinking tools:
⌾ Six Thinking Hats for brainstorming,
⌾ Impact / Value curves for prioritization,
⌾ Iceberg Model for systems thinking,
⌾ Zenko Mapping for finding roadblocks,
⌾ Event Storming for mapping data/user flows.
I can also wholeheartedly recommend a wonderful overview of how to choose the right thinking tool — 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 — and each method includes step-by-step guidelines, video introductions, facilitating guides, materials and PDF/Powerpoint templates.
