Assumption Mapping
Figure illustrates an assumption analysis of a platform for young women who are interested in engineering career paths. To inform better products by understanding the assumptions being made about the desirability, feasibility, and viability of a new idea. These assumptions are then plotted based on Known vs. Unknown and Important vs. Unimportant. Those assumptions in the red background with a blue dot (unknown + important) should be evaluated further using value proposition testing. In the sky-blue background and a blue dot (known + important) should be evaluated against your current roadmap and backlog. In the sky blue background (unknown + unimportant), assumptions should lead to generating more information through user interviews or other testing methods.
Hypothesis
If teenage girls explore more inspirations with playful games and role models in engineering, they will overcome their stereotyping, and better define their STEM career roadmap.
