The Data
I can foresee this being a successful playground product and the team is on track for success with this direction
keep in mind:
fully bubble scores do not circle or give half scores 5 is strongly yes
3 is probably yes
2 is probably no 0 is definitely no
people will be biased if your prototype did not work well
ideas seem less good if you can’t explain them
going forward we are refining the ideas
to be closer to being a real product
don’t marry an idea
design is for other people, not yourself
improvement

Gantt Charts
bar chart to visualize a project schedule to show
start and end dates of key elements of the project
also can show dependency and who does what
can update regularly
like a contract with your team
“finish version 1”

clean your team bin
clean the annex bins (and courtyard materials)
peer reviews - not a replacement for talking in person
written eval documents any issues for record keeping
anonymous feedback allows people to feel comfortable sharing their thoughts
this is a standard practice in companies (like target) and in academia for promotion
kevin henry talk/workshop
public talk: thursday 3-4, 54 Rapson Hall
workshop fri/sat (online registration)
unpacking
(focus on your main direction)
one comment/concern/suggestion per post-it
group comments, see what patterns emerge
end goal is to synthesize all the feedback to help inform your design
needs to be
smaller for child
to use
game play is too
complicated for
intended age
group
where do all the
pieces get
stored?
can you make
this robust for
dropping and
throwing?
