A little less comfortable

Content

You must understand all the standards associated with system fundamentals.  

Process

The key question  here is how does a system integrate into an organization? You should think about the relationship between a system and the organization it provides value to. You should be thinking about every stage of the lifecycle - introducing the system into the organization, changing the system, and legacy systems / data migration. 

Product

Look at any system within an organization and understand how it provides value to the organization. 

A little more comfortable

Our Big idea

The big idea for today is System fundamentals.

The essential questions for this topic are:

How do you design a system so it works really well for your client or customer?

It takes time to explore and really understand a big idea. If you want to
learn more about system fundamentals (which is connected to today's daily note), please click here .

We are learning this because as a designers must understand scientific and technical innovation. Designers use systems, models, methods, and processes to solve problems.
