the design team creates multiple inexpensive versions of the product, known as minimum viable products (mvps)
the design team identifies any additional problems and refines the final solution before the final product is produced and released to customers

Explanation:

Each design thinking stage is matched to its core activity:

1. Empathize focuses on directly engaging with customers to understand their needs.
2. Define involves analyzing gathered data to pinpoint the core problem.
3. Ideation is the stage where the team generates potential solutions.
4. Prototype is about creating low-cost, basic versions of the product.
5. Test means refining the solution based on customer feedback before final release.

Answer:

• Define → Analyze observations and information to identify the core problem
• Ideation → The design team comes up with solution ideas
• Empathize → Spend time gaining an understanding by observing, engaging, and empathizing with customers to understand their experiences and their needs better
• Prototype → The design team creates multiple inexpensive versions of the product, known as minimum viable products (MVPs)
• Test → The design team identifies any additional problems and refines the final solution before the final product is produced and released to customers
