9 (mini) sprints, 3 days, 1 prototype@micheleidesmith
Making our processes transparent@micheleidesmith
25 feedback sessions with users@micheleidesmith
Easy to get feedback and quick to change
Paper prototyping
Lo-fi prototypes are quick and easy to change before you commit to code! @micheleidesmith
Feedback went directly into the HTML/CSS prototype, using Twitter Bootstrap @micheleidesmith
Helped build personas and a talking point!People returned to see the feedback throughout the conference @micheleidesmith
The Empathy Map helped us understand customer needs @micheleidesmith
We fixed pain points and learned about customer needs continuously @micheleidesmith
Sketching out processes and environments identified real-world scenarios and pain points
@micheleidesmith
It’s was all about communication…@micheleidesmith
…and collaboration@micheleidesmith
Keep the conversation going @micheleidesmith
Surveys to test hypotheses @micheleidesmith

“Source Control for Oracle is a huge time saver… It doesn't remove the need to version control, but it takes the tedious steps out of the picture. I am blown away! “!Lewis Cunningham, Oracle ACE Director

“The live lab was a wonderful idea. I enjoyed participating in it and can't wait to see the finished product. Let me know if you need a beta tester.”!Christoph Ruepprich, Oracle Developer @micheleidesmith

Too many cooks. Keep the team small to ensure collaboration and team focus. @micheleidesmith
