Onboarding Project Instructions

Research
Get a solid understanding of what the problem is that you are trying to solve. This could include anything from web research to interviewing people → keep in mind that you only have about a week and a bit to do this project and you don’t want to spend a ton of time on this section!

Map-out big picture
Break down the process and refer to research findings to ensure you understand the user, understand the why. Also, bring up any key info.

Sketch out all ideas
(something that may have been a ‘dumb' idea at the beginning might be your final one so sketch out EVERYTHING)

Determine the main features + flush out the design
Add some more details and finalize which sketches and features you’d like to move forward with

CAD/ Detailed hand render
(optional) Having a 3D model or final render always helps to better communicate your design

Physical / Digital Prototype
Up to you how you want to prototoype!

Usability Testing
Will most likely not be doable for many of you (please don’t risk your safety to do in-person testing)
