Reflection- Learning Launch

Reflection- Learning Launch

  Challenge

Due to the COVID-19 situation in my city, we decided to create a group of volunteers to assist  the elderly people with their food and medicine purchases. There are many grandparents who  live alone or doesn’t have family nearby to help them. Our challenge was to create a simple  online platform that can be easily accessed by elderly people to ask for help to buy something  from our collaborators teams.

This project includes IT personnel, collaborators and a social worker. The project is a start-up  therefore run by volunteer time. The time line for this project should run for at most 30 days  to give our software development team creates a prototype.

  Selection

We have decided to use the learning launch tool because we can quickly test our idea and  prototype. This tool will help us go through an iterating process that will improve on our  solution. Working with a prototype will help us experiment the idea with a small group of  elderly people and be able to analyze what they need and expect.

  Application

Our first launch we focused on providing a simple web site with a form to fill in fields with the  data of the person and the products that wants to buy. In particular we wanted to see how the  grandparents interacts with the platform. This process helped us understand if the website  was user-friendly and useful to them. After an observation on the elderly people  we realized  we should have focused on add a chat service with the collaborator assigned. They needed to  talk and to explain what really needed (brands, flavors).

The second learning launch, we focused to release a new platform with the new add (chat) and  a GPS where the person could see where was his collaborator. After testing the second  platform we conducted telephone interviews with the group of selected people to understand  their experiences and to find out if this second prototype was easy to navigate. Our priority  was to know that the grandparents coulduse the platform with ease and it was efficient with  their need.

  Insight

By applying the learning launch tool, our team were able to learn what the real need of our  users was. We identified ideas, proposals and designed releases to test these assumptions.  With this learning process got to improve our web site to meet user’s expectation. In addition,  we were able to learn and realize that users felt more comfortable talking with the  collaborator and knowing how long they were arriving at their home. With the second launch  we were able to improve and learn better about our users.

Reflection- Learning Launch

  Approach

According to what we have been able to observe, the learning launch is the appropriate tool  for our entrepreneurship. It is important that our team reviews our users' feedbacks of each  past release for improvements that need to be made to our website in future launch design. As  a team, we think it's most effective and ideal way of approaching and implementing solutions   efficiently.

Future launch designs shouldreflect insight gained, progress made, real needs of elderly people  and come closer to a compelling solution ready for full roll out.
