Further development, reflection and summary of ideas

Kuva
Hello folks and welcome to our last blogpost! Oh how time has gone so fast. But in this last post we will think our further product development plan, so what could we done next if we had time and resources. Also, we will reflect our team assignment and teamwork a bit. Lastly, we will gather all the ideas we had for Solita, which are more non-technical and easy approaches to boost the knowledge sharing in and between projects. Further development So, in this course, the main point was to design a human-centered product development project, which is the phase 0 in picture below. Also, to accomplish that, phase -1 was done. Figure 1 . Product development phases (Modified from Buxton 2007, according to Varsaluoma 2021) In this design phase we have planned the human-centered design process where we have tried our best to understand and specify the context of use, specify the user requirements, produce design solutions to meet user requirements and evaluate the designs against requir...

Prototype evaluation plan, process and results

Kuva
Happy Monday and start of the week – this blogpost will be the second to last so after that you will get to enjoy one more blogpost! This has been very excited and inspirational course and group assignment – we have learnt a lot about the Solita and its projects but also about human-centered project development! In this blogpost we will go through the third phase of implementation which is the MVP concept slash prototype evaluation plan, process and results. We have created an interactive prototype of our innovation through JUSTINMIND application where we also tested our protype. Our prototype is also our MVP (minimum viable product) where we have implemented environment to create a project. After creating the project, this and other created projects can be seen in the page. User can create a project where are asked project information like project name, dates, description, project contact person and workers and project implementation information e.g. techniques and key words. After th...

Future technology focused possibilities considering our solution

Kuva
Hello and welcome to KBD’s 12 th   blogpost! If we have calculated correctly, this will be our third to last blogpost. This means that course Human-Centered Product Development is soon coming to an end. We have worked very hard with this course and we have to say that it is quite a relief to know that summer is just around the corner and we maybe have a bit time to relax after a tough schoolyear. 🌞🌈   In the workshop of this course and on the third blogpost, we were talking about the top software trends in 2021 which were for example mixed reality (MR), blockchain, low-code development and outsourcing (DevTeam.Space 2021). Due to our topic, we looked some technology-based knowledge management (KM) trends that could help us to find useful proposals for our target organization.  As you can see from the map in the third blogpost, most of the KM trends are technology-related, and human-centered design has a huge role in their success. For example, friendlier user inter...

Interaction modalities, user tasks and technology behind the solution

Kuva
Happy Wednesday and welcome to read our 11th blogpost! From this point we have passed the inspiration and ideation phases and now starting a new phase - Implementation! This time we are talking about the modalities and user tasks but also a little bit about technology. Behind the blog scenes there’s happening a lot - we are planning the specs of the final video and finalizing the prototype. Our project is progressing and so are we working on the course content! Interaction modalities Modality is described as “a concentrate form of a particular communication mode” according to Bellik and Teil (1992). That mode, which is mentioned in definition, is defined as the five human senses that are sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste, which constitute the receiving information, and the multifarious ways of human expression, that are e.g. speed and gesture, which constitute the product information. For example, modalities of the sound mode are noise, music, speech and silence. Modality can be c...

Interview-frame and comments based on the course personnel's feedback about our blogposts

Hello and welcome to Knowledge Boosting Diamond´s 10 th   blogpost! 💙 Crazy how fast time has gone and how little there is left of course Human-Centered Product Development. It is quite weird to also think how far along in spring we actually are and how soon Wappu is! Sadly Wappu-celebrations won’t be the epic teekkari-celebrations this year either, thanks to Covid. However, it’s nice to enjoy some sun which gives to much energy for the last few weeks of this school year.  🌻🌞   This blogpost is about the interviews we have organized already ages ago. The solution we are coming up with is based on these interviews but for some reason we completely missed to include the interview-frame to our blog. So, thanks to the feedback our team got from the course teacher, this post is dedicated to the interviews we have organized. We really appreciate the feedback we got a lot, and it will absolutely help our blog to be even better.    For clarity reasons, this post dedi...

UX Goals

Hello again! Today we are going to talk about user experience goals for our product which we introduced a few blog posts ago. First thing to remember when searching for UX goals is that the whole point of our product is to boost knowledge sharing and information flow within and between projects. So not only does our product need to have helpful information but also it needs to be easily accessible and in a right form.   After reminding ourselves about the facts above we have found three user experience goals to aim for when developing our product and the interactive prototype. We have based these goals on Nielsen’s (2020) usability heuristics and Normans (2013) seven fundamental principles of design.  First user experience goal we determined is consistency. By which we intend making the product clear with consistently named and marked links, consistent mapping and implementation in accordance with standards. As Jacob’s Law says, users spend most of their time on other sites (2...

Wireframe

Kuva
Hi everyone! 💙 We are so excited to show you our wireframe. The wireframe depicts the page layout or arrangement of the website's content, including interface elements and navigational systems, and how they work together.     We started by looking for a suitable free tool for drawing wireframes. There are many different options of tools on the Internet, but we chose the following three for a closer look: Adobe XD, Balsamiq and Moqups. Our final choice was Balsamiq because we liked the controls, and it was easy to use.    The first page of our wireframe shows the situation when the company is about to use our product. There is no information about projects. When clicking the plus button (+), opens a window where the user can give project information. The user gives the name of the project, the necessary information, people of the project and keywords. The user will be the responsible person for the shared information.    When the user has given all informat...
