Goal for the Morning: Comprehensive Development of the Deliverable
The objective for this morning's session is to meticulously craft the Strategy Sprint deliverable. This document will serve as a detailed account of the research process, findings, and proposed solutions, aligning closely with the Simon Sinek's "Golden Circle" model of Why, How, What. The deliverable will not only provide a thorough understanding of the research undertaken but also outline a clear strategy for addressing the identified user problems.
DETAILED STRUCTURE FOR CREATING THE DELIVERABLE
- Defining the General Problem (The Why):
- Project Brief and Business Objectives: Begin by contextualizing the research within the scope of the project brief and the overarching business objectives. This sets the stage for understanding the significance of the research.
- Global Problem Description: Detail the global problem that initiated the research, including its source (e.g., Net Promoter Score (NPS), customer claims), and its impact on the business and customers.
- Research Methodology (The How):
- Research Protocol Overview: Describe the research protocol in detail, including the composition of the core team, the number of participants interviewed, and the demographics of these participants.
- Interview Process: Elaborate on the interview process – how, when, and where the interviews were conducted.
- Data Analysis Method: Explain the methods used for analyzing the data collected during the research phase.
- Insights into the Real Problem and User Perspectives (The What):
- Findings Presentation: Utilize clear and effective tools such as Persona, Evidence Map (Goals, Habits, Emotions, Motivations), experience maps, problem tree analysis, and Event Insight Stories to present the findings.
- Key Insights Summary: Start this section with a one-pager that encapsulates the key insights, providing an immediate understanding of the core findings.
- Solution Strategy (The Solutions):
- Visual Concept Mapping: Create a visual map or representation that outlines the concepts developed as potential solutions.
- Storyboarding and Wireframing: For each proposed solution, develop a storyboard or wireframe to illustrate the envisioned user experience. This should clearly demonstrate the main value proposition and how it addresses the identified user problems.
Key Considerations for Deliverable Preparation
- Clarity and Structure: The deliverable should be structured in a clear and logical manner, ensuring ease of understanding and coherence in the flow of information.
- Visual and Narrative Balance: Strive for a balance between visual elements and narrative explanations to effectively communicate complex concepts and insights.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Ensure that all aspects of the research process, from the initial problem to the proposed solutions, are thoroughly covered.
- Collaborative Review and Refinement: Involve the team in the review process to ensure accuracy, comprehensiveness, and alignment with the research objectives.
By the end of this session, the team should have a well-constructed deliverable that not only documents the Strategy Sprint in detail but also serves as a strategic guide for addressing the identified problems. This document will be instrumental in communicating the research findings to stakeholders and guiding the subsequent phases of solution development and implementation.
