1. : Brainstorming phase, characterized by active discovery and idea generation surrounding the user and their potential needs or challenges. During this stage, the team collaboratively generates innovative solutions, gains a profound understanding of the target audience, and identifies the requirements or obstacles that the audience may encounter. Thorough research is a key element during this stage, as it involves exploring various methods to comprehend and empathize with the target audience. UX researchers and writers play significant roles in conducting interviews and research to gain valuable insights.

2): Define phase, where insights obtained from the brainstorming stage are used to narrow down the project’s focus. In this phase, the team precisely determines how the product will impact the user. As a UX designer, this is the stage where you delve into specific details concerning the product’s intended audience, functionality, and essential features for its success. Clear statements outlining the goals and the problems that the product design seeks to address become the central focus during this stage.

3): Design Phase, In this stage, UX designers actively develop ideas and ensure that all specifications established in the define phase are realistic and feasible. The initial stages of preparation and planning provide a comprehensive understanding of the target audience and their needs, forming the foundation for the design work. UX designers create a variety of assets, such as storyboards that explore user experiences, wireframes that outline content layouts, and prototypes that allow for testing the design’s functionality.

4): Test phase, where the product design is evaluated based on feedback from potential users. Testing aids in identifying areas that require refinement or improvement, ensuring that the final design meets the user’s expectations. During this stage, there is close collaboration between UX designers and front-end engineers to create a practical and functional end product.

5): Launch phase, Finally the last stage involving the public release of the finished product. This may entail listing an app on the Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store, making a website live, or introducing a physical product to store shelves.
