Description¶

The template prescribes a planning-and-revision workflow: organizations first document their program, practice, or product, theory of change, learning objectives, and timeline, then carry out design research activities. As they complete those activities, they update the plan with their results and any adjustments they will make to their program, practice, or product based on their findings.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Organizations must complete design research activities and record both the results and the adjustments they will make based on those findings

Constraints¶
