Why it matters?
As a product designer, the whiteboard challenge is more than just a task. It's a stage where you can spotlight your unique problem-solving approach and strategic thinking, the cornerstones of product design.

It's an opportunity to exhibit your adaptability, collaboration prowess, ambiguity management, time management, and communication skills.

Practise is key
The key to acing the whiteboard challenge lies in practice. There's no definitive right or wrong solution; it's about familiarizing yourself with the process. Our open-source design file is a treasure trove of practice lab workshops, offering a safe haven for you to learn, err, and ultimately, triumph in the whiteboard challenge.

Using the resource
A few years ago, I created a YouTube video on navigating the whiteboard challenge, which has since served as a valuable resource for many. Now, in collaboration with other senior designers, we've taken it a step further with this free, self-guided resource. Remember, the secret to mastering the whiteboard challenge is consistent practice, at your own pace.

We had the pleasure of incorporating this whiteboard challenge in our 'Muslim in Design' community event. Participants engaged with the framework, enriching their experience with insightful scribbles.
