Creating How Might We Statements in Design Thinking

How Might We (HMW) questions are short challenge questions that represent the user’s needs. The How Might We questions help to reframe problems as opportunities. Additionally, the How Might We questions help break the larger problem the user faces into smaller, more manageable, and actionable pieces.

How Might We questions help the team to narrow their focus on what needs are most important to act on, serving as the foundation for the design team’s brainstorming and ideation activities. Once the design team has picked 1-3 HMW questions of appropriate scope, the team can begin brainstorming solutions and ideas for improvement.
