Product Requirements

Who is your co-designer?

In your own words, tell us about your co-designer and what you learned from interviewing. And not just about their impairment - who are they as a person? Include anything that your co-designer would be comfortable sharing. Some of these things you may be able to answer before your interview, and others are things you should try to gather information on. Some suggestions:

  • introductions
  • living situation
  • daily routines
  • hobbies
  • occupation
  • any relation to you or others in the community
  • impairments or AT-related needs
  • solutions they have already tried

Needs and Requirements

  • co-designer needs statements
  • product requirements (derived from needs)

Concept Generation and Selection

Give us a narrative of your brainstorming! Tell us about the following:

  • How did you clarify the problem?
  • What did your external search and brainstorming look like? Any particularly notable ideas that you wanted to keep or ended up discarding?
  • How did you select the concept with which you'll move forward?
