Reflection – Learning Launch 

 Challenge 

 I am a business engineering student at UCC in Perú , and currently , I am taking 

 a course about formulation and evaluation of business projects , one of the final courses to get 

 the degree . There , my teamwork , formed to carry out the final project of the term , and I 

 identified , using primary data sources , from our own surveys , and using secondary data sources , 

 as well , from government organization ’s stats , a need that many undergraduate students like us 

 have during their period in the college . The challenge that causes that need is the movement . 

 Many of these students come from different provinces to Lima to study a university career , and 

 a great part of them do not have the possibility to get a housing in the campus , so they are 

 obliged to look for apartments or other kind of places to stay , close to the universities . Having 

 identified that situation , contemplated in the “ What is ? ” question of the design thinking 

 framework , we decided to propose a way to satisfy that need through the creation of an 

 application specialized in the university student ’s needs that could help to find the best places 

 for them . In that way we are focused on trying to develop that app in the way that fits with their 

 lives and provides value for them . It should be noted that we are aware about the Covid-19 

 situation that we are going through , that is why we project the development of the app from 

 now to 4 or 6 months forward . 

 Selection 

 As I have mentioned before , our team has already gone through several design thinking 

 framework ’s tools during the development of this business idea . So , now , we going to try the 

 learning launch tool , in the way that it could help us to prove if our hypothesis and our prototype 

 developed fits with the expectations of our target audience , as we have seen during these four 

 weeks in our classes . Broadly speaking , this tool consists in a low - cost experiment that quickly 

 will help us to test our idea and prototype . 

 Application 

 Considering all of I have mentioned before , our team has decided to develop two learning 

 launches . The first learning launch was focused on the structure of our app , so using the SCRUM 

 methodology , that is focused on the development of digital applications , and DMAIC 

 methodology , that is focused in the continue improving of the processes , we presented the 

 structure of the app , developed with Balsamic Wireframes . That prototype was presented in the 

 entrepreneurship fair of the consortium of universities to which ours belongs , which took place 

 from May 24th to May 28th . There we expected to create a comfortable space to share ideas , and 

 from them improve our structure . With a sample of our target audience , we think that we could 

 establish the features that our app must have . In that way , we are valuating all different ideas 

 that we have gotten with some professionals of digital developing and of finances to know and 

 select which are the best ones to maintain our sustainability in this stage of the project . It is 

 important , as well , to say that the ideas that will not be taken will be considered in the 

 possibilities that we have in the long term to implement . 

 The second learning launch have not been realized yet , but will be focused on our stakeholders 

 as investors , commercial partners , and tenants that going to publish their advertisements in our 

 application . Having made the corrections in our structure we going to present our pilot in the 

 EDHEC Business School ’s innovation fair . There we expect through surveys and focus groups , of 

 5 to 6 people , get feedback to make our business proposal sustainable , and attractive to invest 

 and to be part of it . 

 Insight 

 What I have learned , by applying the learning launch tool in our project ’s development is that 

 even though we could make assumptions , when we plan it , not all of them , necessarily , will be 

 the bests in the way to take a good decision for us and for the project ’s sustainability . That is 

 why the learning launch becomes an indispensable tool to try during this stage , the value of “ fail 

 fast and cheap ” that give us this tool , if it happens , and the possibility to constantly improve our 

 processes and decisions , help us a lot to get a good result for long . 

 Approach 

 Given that , our team has already gone through several design thinking tools , during the project 

 development , and we think that at this stage in the timeline , the learning launch has been the 

 best tool use . We think if something must change would be that the use of this tool must be 

 indispensable to value the biggest changes that we could make in our future projects .
