QDD Journey Courses This QDD Journey are 3 courses that make up additional lessons. The other lessons are next steps to the Fast Track. Iterate what you've learned about the concept space to help you and your team with the design throughout the development process. Courses are:

  • Design for Problems and Risk
  • Design with Quality and Reliability
  • Design for the Users.

Step-by-step Within the Fast Track and the courses, the lessons are designed to be consumed step-by-step, following the step and lesson number. Within the courses, each lesson builds upon the concepts from the last.

Quality during Design Journey Courses

You get instant access to the Quality during Design Journey. Take what you learned in the Fast Track lessons to the next step. Iterate for more teamwork, information, and prioritization of design decisions throughout product development.

You don't need to complete them in order. For example, you don't need to do Course 1 before you do Course 2. Choose the topic that's most relevant to what you're working on now.

All courses give examples. The same scenario is used throughout to show the different aspects of design that these different methods highlight.
