Case Study 3 -- Cave Questions
For this design process the designers were presented with this situation:
"You work as a tour guide in a cave complex, in one of the caves there is a large 'chimney' that rises to an unknown height. Almost every day someone asks you how high it goes, and you have no good answer."
With this description the design team went to work.

The team generated ideas using 635. Each team member had a sticky note color, and they created at least 3 ideas to start off and then passed those ideas to the next person. Then each person gets an opportunity to riff on the ideas to create new ones. These ideas are then combined and condensed into potential solutions which get listed in the decision table.
