This week we started off by finalizing our prototype. We added all the main features that would go into the initial version of the app. Work was divided into 4 sections: Signup screens, Starting Trip, Planning Trip, and Collecting Payments. We decided to have slides of the prototype screens that loop around at our booth during the final event. We also took printouts for the poster-board.

This week we continued finalizing our story and prototype for the last class. We rehearsed our story together and tried to bring in some of the key learings from David Riemer's presentation:
We also reflected on on our journey throughout the class. We generally felt pretty good throughout the class about our process. This was partly because we expected things would not always be clear.
We also discussed how we moved through the different quadrants of the innovation cycle journey. Throughout the semester we spent time in all 4 sections.
This week was the deadline for finalizing our team name. Because of our evolution from a ski/snowboard solution to a group planning platform, Haaskis was considered too narrow as a representation of our team. We instead decided to change our name to Orca, because we want everyone to travel together!
We also started work on our story-out and consulted David Riemer on certain elements that we were thinking of incorporating into our story. He provided excellent advice that helped formulate where we wanted our story-out to go. Finally, we worked on finalizing the workflow of our platform, starting with what we wanted users to see, the layout, and how each page would be designed. This week we discussed prototyping further and revised the application flow to add templates for different activities. So if you are skiing one list of things to do will become active while if you are camping a different template will become active. This helps to simplify the planning for the users, saves time and also broadens the scope of the app. We also discussed adding the voting function to aid in decision making. We also discussed several other scenarios where this planning app could be useful: Bachelor/ette parties, Reunions, Business schools (Vegas Trip), Camping, Destination Golf travel. We then discussed the value proposition canvas and populated it for our product. In the process, we further refined our value proposition. The key components are what we're calling ACDA:
We also started refining some of the details of our story. As is tradition, we ended the week with a group selfie!
