Week 9 of 17
MARCH 17 TO 19
Fiction. No real student, family or grade appears.
Whether incremental improvement or radical redesign does more good. Incremental helps sooner and reaches fewer people. Radical might help enormously or might never ship.
Defining our own problem, properly, with evidence that it is real and affects specific people.
Criteria are what success looks like, constraints are what you cannot change. Mine include that it still has to be childproof, which is the entire difficulty.
ME
Easy for weak hands and hard for curious ones are nearly opposite requirements.
Fast sketching, many ideas, then killing most. Every idea traded one requirement against another and the log has to say which trade I made and why.
Problem, evidence, users, criteria, constraints, three concepts, one recommendation.
Chess. I am losing less badly. Someone pointed out I commit to a plan early and will not abandon it even when the board changes.
CLASSMATE
You commit early and you will not abandon a plan even when the board changes.
