DESIGN CYCLE

There are four stages to be followed when solving problems using IT solutions or technology: The four steps are described in four criteria. 
These includes:

1. Criterion A: Inquiring and Analysing ( Investigation stage).
2. Criterion B: Developing ideas.
3. Criterion C: Creating the solution or product.
4. Criterion D: Evaluating.

In each and every criterion, the highest grade is 8 and lowest 0

Activities

Every designer may approach a problem in a different way. Depending on their specialism, designers tend to have their own methodology, but some general activities are common to all designers.

The design cycle model underpins the design process. The design cycle model above represents the MYP design methodology of how designers develop products.The process is divided into four stages: inquiring and analyzing; developing ideas; creating the solution; evaluating.

This incremental process allows the designer to go from identifying a design opportunity to the testing and evaluation of a solution. This process leads to the creation of solutions that solve a problem.
