Building a ‘thing’ is one thing; creating a prototype that solves a critical problem within existing constraints is our speciality. This expertise defines our approach to developing prototypes.

We start with the high-priority needs, aiming to create prototypes that provide real benefits to end-users, ideally not a 'throw-away version'. We then focus on testing various concepts, technologies, and functionalities to ensure they deliver value. We understand that delivering value is key to advancing projects beyond the early prototype stage.

If there are several key project outcomes or directions to be measured and evaluated, you may consider multiple cycles of this package.

Input

We need the below information and background from you. Most of these are expected ‘Output’ from our ‘Requirements Gathering ’ and ‘Technical Assessment’ packages. Information requested includes:

• Refined problem statement with end-user validation

• Stakeholder personas and insights

• Technical requirements

• Possible feature list with prioritisation

• Organisational constraints and limitations

• Legal and policy constraints

• Future considerations

• Success criteria

We will run a kickoff workshop with you to help identify any gaps.

Output

You will be provided with a prototype that has been designed to deliver value for the key end-users. To get to this point, we will have worked closely with you, making decisions about what to include and focus on along the way and looking to meet as many success criteria as possible. Expected output will include:

Prototype - Links to the working prototype

Testing plan - A plan for further end-user testing. This will likely include:

• Objectives

• Methodologies

• Participant criteria

• Metrics for success

Delivery report - This will likely include:

• Documentation of decisions made during the process

• Feedback and usability report

• Design collateral to give a clear guide for understanding how the prototype was built and how it is intended to be used. Such as: wireframes, user flow diagrams, interface designs, user interaction models, visual design

• Recommendations for for a scalable/production version

• Roadmap for further development

• Value assessment and ROI Analysis

Time and Resource:

Duration: This package is designed to be delivered over 4-week sprint cycles. Extending or shortening the sprint cycle at an additional cost may be possible. Cycles can be added as the project develops.

Our resource - A project manager will likely work with a minimum of four other key roles during the delivery:

• Solution Architect

• Lead Developer

• Designer

• Engagement Lead

Your Resource - We need to have regular and open communication with your team. At a minimum, this should include:

• A kick-off workshop with key project SMEs and decision maker(s)

• Weekly sprint planning meetings with a contactable project lead during the delivery period.

• Two meetings with the project sponsor or key decision maker during the delivery.

• Project debriefing and retro

Cost: $31,680
