Successes: 

  • Finished team's website

    • Created all the pages and filled them with relevant content

    • Created a standard style of colors, fonts, etc. which are maintained through the site

    • Published the site so that it is viewable by the Zebra Team

  • Continued research on Gamification

    • Included literature reviews and comparative analyses

    • Learned about how gamification is implemented across a variety of platforms and industries

  • Continued strong communication with Zebra Team

    • Communicated semi-consistently throughout the week

    • Continued our weekly check-in meeting

  • Worked on project proposal

    • Outlined our goals, focus, research approach, preliminary research findings, and schedule going forward

    • Delegated work effectively and conducted a collaborative review

  • Narrowed the scope of our project

    • Decided to focus on the retail industry​

    • Availability to stores like CVS and Walmart gives us most access to user base 

Failures: 

  • Have not yet started user research, the process will extend into next week’s goals

    • Our user research will directly help to narrow the scope of our project and define a persona

  • Made errors in our presentation 

    • We made the presentation for our weekly meeting last minute and missed simple grammar mistakes

    • Next week we will make the slides further ahead of time

Difficulties:

  • Clarifying technical aspects of our sponsor’s expectations and goals, specifically in the context of our project proposal

  • Understanding a concrete example of a potential deliverable

    • Since we do not have extensive experience being an employee of a retail space or using Zebra hardware, we had to do research and ask questions to get a basic understanding of their expectations 

  • Gamification is a broad topic with many opportunities for implementation

Goals for Next Week: 

  • Finish Project proposal 

    • Revise and Edit our rough draft

  • Create and send out a Qualtrics form to isolate user group

    • Define a persona to narrow the scope further

    • Create a focus for the ideation phase and the rest of our project
