MEC-E3001 - Product Development Project V D, Lecture, 7.9.2022-12.5.2023

To complete the User Validation Workshop and get one additional study credit in PdP, you should conclude your homework by: 

1. Organize a user validation session for the scope of your project.

• Plan a user testing session with your team and identify a user group that fits your project scope.
• Contact users and invite them to join the user validation session.
• Facilitate and conduct the user validation session. 
• Observe and document the pain points and positive aspects highlighted in the session.

Note that it is encouraged the use of techniques introduced at the workshop.

2. Write an approx. 2-3 page report

• Reflect on how your project team could benefit from a user testing validation throughout its process (cite once or twice the recommended readings).
• Report your user validation session design and reasoning for the design of the session.
• Report the session results (you can use pictures or attachments).
• Reflect on the relevant feedback for your project and how that will impact the coming product development stages.
• Reflect on how the session went and what you would do differently next time.

Note that two recommended readings are attached below.

The deadline for completing this assignment is the 17th March, by 23:59. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with Sara (sara.santosfigueiredo@aalto.fi).
