We are now in the stage where we have a sense of what we are going to do. After last weeks brainstorming we came up with a couple of good ideas that we are going to work more with to see which one to pick.
We will soon enter the phase when it’s time to establish goals and look into questions that follow with them. To do this we can use the DECIDE framework described in the book, chapter 13. This is a phase where you plan an evaluation and give it a good structure. An evaluation is good to get the most out of the design and to really make sure the product fits with the target group.
If we make sure to structure up everything it’ll be easier for us to figure out what kind of evaluation we need do later on. Do we need to get help from experts, or do we want to involve the users to make our product fit with our goals and requirements?
I found walkthroughs being an interesting inspection method. It work so that you go trough a process of completing different tasks at for example a webpage. For every step the user is suppose to take you stop and evaluate to se if the user knows how to do things, what to do next and if he or she did the right choice or not. This would be really interesting to try out. Maybe we get the chance to do that later on.
We also need to have in mind that even though we think that our product works perfectly the users might not get it at all. Therefor I think that even if we decide not to involve them as evaluators right away it will be important that we at some point get there opinions by some kind of testing against reality.
It is important to keep in mind that not even one expert can alone figure out all the features that need to be in the product so that it works they way it's suppose to. There needs to be a whole team for that. Good thing we are a team! I sense greatness coming out of this.
