Process Overview
In researching the domain space, developing prototypes of varying fidelity, and conducting user evaluations, the team has structured the anticipated work into three two-week sprints. Serving as individual milestones and dates for key deliverables, these three sprints will progress the team through the stages of research, design and evaluation.
The first three-week sprint was centred on the team using insights derived from the collection of domain research to inform a set of user experience requirements. In this process, the team considered a number of possible solutions to the problem space, and went about contextualising user interactions and expectations through personas and storyboards.
- Consolidated research findings
- User stories and non-functional prototypes
- Initial user experience requirements
- Low-fidelity prototype
This second sprint marked the conclusion of evaluating low and medium fidelity prototypes, and the commencement of developing a high functioning proof-of-concept prototype. During this sprint, a number of design and evaluation cycles had occurred – employing a range of evaluation techniques. This iterative cycle set inform numerous user experience requirements which the team aimed to embed within the final prototype.
In the final sprint, the team aims to develop a prototype that exhibits key functionality that is fundamental to the demonstration of core mobile and social concepts. Although not designed to solve the aforementioned problem entirely, the team acknowledges that the purpose of this prototype is to demonstrate our idea, and ultimately learn more about the domain space and context of use.
To facilitate this understanding, the team will deliver a high-fidelity prototype that displays key social, mobile and location dependent content to the user.
