Planning to Iterate
- Was the feedback consistent?
- What were the best learnings?
- What should you implement as you ITERATE?
Feedback - Feedback was pretty consistent throughout the 5 interviews I conducted. There seems to be a need though the problem is not extreme enough to the point where everyone decidedly wants the product. Because the lost and found application does not solve the problem of theft, it is useful only to an extent which means that the app probably would not warrant a download from the average joe.
There were 3 main things I learned from conducting interviews:
- There needs to be a timestamp function on the backend so that the AI can distinguish between identical objects that were lost at different times.
- The map/location tracking feature within the app should make it so that the AI only pulls up items that were lost around the location of the user (and not pull up items lost from across the world).
- The main problem with this app is driving initial user adoption which is why I should aim to partner with educational institutions like Stanford or Baylor first so that they can help convince their students to adopt the app.
Below are the drawn images of my iterated product. I redrew my MVP to include things I learned during my interview so that it is improved.
