Topic principal

Analyse

If we are very clear about the problem we need to resolve and we know all the details.

Information and research

We collate, study and select information on the different ways that we could resolve the problem

Search for possible solution

We think of the different options

Choose the solution

We choose the best solutions based on the criteria that we set us priorities.

Build

Build the proyect

This is the stage where we build.

Functional analisys

How the object works, howe it is used and the potential risks of its use.

Technical analysis

We evaluate how the object was made.

Economic analysis

Social analysis

Prepare and plan the work
