Reflection

What I learned by testing my prototype

What I would do next

• It’s important to test your idea with a few key stakeholders before jumping to implementation

• Feedback helps you see things about your idea that you can’t see on your own

• Testing helps sharpen and refine your idea

• Iterate on the prototype by incorporating the suggestions given• Run the new prototype past a larger test group• Iterate again then implement• I think you could spend a lot of time, money and effort continuously

iterating on your prototype. As some point you need to stop testing and just put it out into the marketplace
