Level 1 (contd.)
Do some secondary research to understand the problem space? Goal: to find at least 5 to 6 topics that are hot in the industry (of course around the problem space)
Talk to the users to understand their literacy about the challenge space (are they catching up with the trends or they are too lazy)
Find people who are influential in the industry (Subject Matter Experts)

Level 2, 3 & 4 are about ideation (contd.)
Stop at just enough research. Come up with a broad (big enough) overreaching problem statement.
Level 3: Persuade the team to jump into the Design Sprint to tackle the challenge in a together, alone setting.
Day 1 of the sprint is imp because its all about zeroing on the challenges the team hopes to tackle during the sprint
Day 2: The fun starts —> Designing the solution.
Day 3: Choosing a solution
Day 4: Breaking the solution in smaller fragments that could be prototyped
Day 5: User Test
Level 4: Repeat 🔁 [Iteration Sprint]

Level 6: Metrics & Events (still figuring out), simultaneously get coding.
Level 7: Ship with analytics in place (figuring it out)
