Reflection- Prototyping 

 Challenge 

 The tool I chose is prototyping . I just got accepted as an operations officer for a big 

 project in my university . We are going to start building a Technology Business Incubator . I am in 

 charge of handling the project team ’s daily tasks , ideation and recruitment of incubatees in the 

 program . Furthermore , I am responsible for managing events , finance , and logistics . As a 

 first - timer , I did not really know how I was going to do my job . Being in operations means that 

 there will be a lot of moving parts and I did not know where to start . I remember I do a lot of 

 User Experience Research and one aspect of the job is doing prototyping . My first task is to 

 come up with a system to organize all the things I need to work on ( ideation , recruitment , events 

 management , finance , logistics ) .     Selection 

 Prototyping allows us to make abstract new ideas tangible to potential partners and 

 customers . These include storyboarding , user scenarios , experience journeys , and business 

 concept illustrations — all of which encourage deep involvement by important stakeholders to 

 provide feedback . I think this is the best way to test systems and to know whether it will work or 

 not .      Application 

 Me and my team had 5 things to prepare , so we made a business concept illustration on 

 how ideation , recruitment , events management , finance , and logistics can all work together . The 

 team did not fully understand the concept , as it was more on the visual side and it lacked 

 explanation . Since prototyping is all about iteration , we scratched the idea of a business concept 

 illustration and shifted to user scenario . 

 When we were making the user scenario , our focus was about getting the whole team on 

 the same page . Our user scenario prototype displayed different situations to begin our planning 

 and execution . It involved different contingencies should anything happen to be ready for 

 unexpected events . Additionally , five different stakeholders were given five different scenarios 

 as a survey . This helped our team in determining the best plan possible for every scenario . The 

 survey included questions about our plans , understanding the process and the prioritization of 

 tasks , and feelings about the change . This was conducted two months before our proper 

 planning phase within a three - day timeframe . 

 Insight 

 By applying prototyping in our project , specifically user scenarios , we were able to 

 identify the problems that need to be addressed primarily . Prototyping gave us the freedom to 

 iterate our work to constantly improve our designs and systems . Visualization and concept 

 illustrations will not work in this setup since our problem involved systematic processes . Having 

 the vision of what we wanted to do was not enough . It was too abstract . What we needed was 

 workflows to map out all the situations and the steps needed to take to solve the problem .      Approach 

 Given that our task is all about creating plans and our team are all proficient in UX 

 Research and Design , prototyping was the best and most appropriate design thinking tool for 

 us . We just need to gain more knowledge and insights and review them thoroughly . Prototyping 

 should reflect all the values involved in design thinking and should always be directed to the 

 next stages of the design process .

EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
