2013.10 rapid fire ideation & design process
DESCRIPTION
Conducted a 2 hour workshop for college students for an Android App Competition, going through the process of ideation and design. This works like a simulation of sprint 0 in the agile development process. The overall process was: 1. Overview - Areas to consider before jumping into building their app 2. Broke them up into teams of 6-7 people. 3. Creating personas 4. Scoping and prioritisation 5. Sketching concepts & wireframes 6. Testing it with peers, discerning feedback, meaningful critiques.TRANSCRIPT
