Process

We developed the Data Design Playbook to allow us to be flexible and solve all types of data problems; from building map based products, working with scientists to build internal data tools or developing platforms for media orgs to communicate with the public. Our Playbook is broken down into four steps, Analyse, Understand, Ideate and Develop each with a selection of methods we use.
