Session Type: Symposium
Sandoval (2014) proposed conjecture mapping as a systematic approach to conducting design research, pushing the field beyond describing high level ethos towards methodological rigour. Conjecture mapping has been adopted widely, with many users modifying the tool to address the needs of design contexts. This symposium documents uses, challenges and innovations to conjecture mapping by bringing together design teams that will share how creating new conjecture maps led to insights in their design processes. With Sanvodal as the discussant, we hope to explore the surprising and generative life this tool has taken on. This symposium will support a robust conversation with the audience about a wider range of experiences with mapping conjectures in complex design research contexts.
