Overview - Develop Phase

Phase Goals

The focus of this Phase

The refinement of the Design Challenge gave the beginning of the Development Phase. After the concept approval in the last stage, I needed to refine my ideas. By the end of the Phase, I needed to know in detail the user's interaction with the product from start to finish. moreover, I needed to determine how the three main components (hardware, devise software and charging station software) would work together to provide the desired user experience. Therefore the three main goals for the phase were:

Phase Goals:

1. Create Scenario Flows

2. Create User Screen Flows

3. Decide on Hardware

Phase Approach

The approach in this phase spread out a lot compared to the previous phases. Every one of the main goals used method triangulation. That is because deciding on the hardware (blue circles on the image) depended on the other 2 goals. Therefore it was important that the concept of each goal is validated and iterated before moving on to the next component.
