Project-2

In project-1, we started with a technology and then framed a challenge, proposed a solution, etc. In project-2, we choose a different starting point - your pain area. 

1. Ask yourself, "What am I pained about?" Some example responses could be - time management, waking up early, placement, not able to meet friends, too much screen time, lack of infrastructure at home, online exams, etc. List one pain area from each of the team members. Choose one pain area which the team feels is more representative. 

2. Do 4 interviews related to the chosen area of pain. It is ok if you interview each other. Please take notes during the interviews.

3. Build an empathy map. Say/Do/Think/Feel.

4. From the empathy map, identify the top 2 issues and the top 2 bright spots.

5.  Choose 1 of the 2 issues which the team feels is more important and identify 1 bright spot related to the issue. Frame a challenge from the combination of the chosen issue and the bright spot.

6. Identify an existing product/service which is attempting to help in the challenge identified in step 5. List key components including the technologies involved in this product/service.

7. Suggest one improvement area to the identified product/service such that it would be a better response to the challenge framed in step 5. 

8. Where would you begin building a working prototype for the solution in step 7?  Please give initial 2 steps.
