Whiteboard Challenge Guide

Now you may think this free whiteboarding template is of no use to you, but let me be super clear! It most definitely is. We here at Free Figma Templates have actually stopped engaging in whiteboard sessions as part of the interview process, as the amount of people that completely fall apart in this activity is astounding, it's basically over 50%.

So if you want to prepare yourselves for a whiteboarding challenge, whether that's during a UX interview, or just as part of brainstorming and ideation, we highly recommend you browse lots of YouTube videos on the matter, and also browse through this educational whiteboarding challenge guide for Figjam.

What's included? Well it's a step by step process what the whiteboarding challenge is, why it's important, how to prepare, common mistakes and a FAQ. At it's core the process is: understand the environment, define the problem/s, define solutions, refine your best idea and summarise.

Personally we like the structure of 'Context -> Problem Statement -> Key Screens or User Flows -> Prototype of a happy path', the important part is you showcase a clear framework or approach and you clearly explain how you're thinking and ideating throughout. Also don't forget personas! Everyone always forgets these, but they're a vital part of modern day UX.
