Session 1 · DESIGN: Improve
Analyse, redesign, retest
- 10 minFailure analysis: for each spec not met, why did it fail? Material, shape, size or use?
- 25 minMake one evidence-based change, then run round two with the same tests.
- 10 minGraph round one and round two side by side. Pūkeko asks one question about your evidence.
- 5 minWrite: 'We changed ___ because round one showed ___. Round two shows ___.'
Session 2 · DESIGN: Give Value
Stakeholder review
- 25 minStakeholders try the improved design and score it against each 'must' and 'should' in their own words.
- 15 minWho benefits, how much and how often? Who might still be left out?
- 10 minUpdate the design story with their feedback.
Getting started
Compare one spec across both rounds.
Stretch
Estimate the cost of materials to build the real thing, and the cost of maintaining it for five years.
Checkpoint
Evidence of improvement between rounds, and recorded stakeholder views.
Activities for this week
- Test data spreadsheet: Does our design meet the spec, and did round two improve on round one?
- Stakeholder feedback round: Does our design work for the people it is meant for?
