Design Sprint

We were tasked with a Design Sprint due in the next tutorial session. The deliverables being:

• Presentation
• 1 Prototype
• 1 Persona
• 6 Concept cards

To get started on choosing our 6 concepts we continued brainstorming concepts for the 2 extra problem statements generated last week (based on "nothing to do while waiting" and "unclear signage"), fleshed these out in some more detail and took note of their limitations. 

As we have already conducted some user research, we decided to select concepts that have grounding in this research. After this we chose 6 concepts to use for the concept cards, 2 each from the 3 problem statements, and assigned a team member to each one. 

The 6 concepts chosen were:

• Search touch screens (Arturo)
• Baggage collection zones (Matt)
• Bag tracking (Stuart)
• Sleeping pod/modular seating (Song)
• Physical locater devices (Lilly)
• Flight forum - social app (Leila)

Each team member is to give the concept a name, produce a thumbnail sketch/picture, and give a "back-of-the-box" description that is detailed enough to convey the concept and differentiate it from other concepts.

• We chose one of these concepts to develop into a prototype: Search touch screens that give users directions and times to their desired destination. We further explored this concept by brainstorming features, functionality, processes.

• We brainstormed and created the persona "Retiree Judy" 

• We continued to work on the low-fi prototype in some more specific details - the exact steps different users will take, how the interface will be organised, extra features such as a "countdown bar" that visually show the time breakdown to get to your destination.

Design Sprint deliverables for team members (due next week in class):

• Concept cards - 1 per team member as above
• Matt - Gather together and clarify our brainstorming notes from today
• Lilly - Persona - continue to develop and refine the "Retiree Judy" persona
• Arturo and Song - Prototype - Continue to develop a paper (or other low-fidelity) prototype of the concept.
• Leila - Consideration of the environment, location and signage for this product. Produce a mockup of where it is to be situated in an airport setting.
• Stuart - Presentation - devise to to present the concept and explain it through a story/scenario in which it would be used. No more than 5 min long.
