Defining the problem and criteria for success was a significant part of the research process, impacting the overall effectiveness of the project.

The project highlighted the importance of adapting research techniques to ensure practical usability in real-world applications.

When shaping a project, we focus on what we can realistically achieve within our time budget, allowing for meaningful progress without overextending ourselves.

When under time pressure, teams often cut quality instead of scope; however, we prioritize cutting scope to maintain product quality.

Prioritization helps set realistic goals in product development, preventing projects from extending beyond their timelines.

The key to successful product development is to maintain clarity on both the problem we're solving and the solution we're proposing, ensuring that the team is engaged and understands their tasks.

In the design process, it's essential to balance speed of execution with quality, and it's possible to achieve both if the motivation is right.

A well-defined problem is half-solved; clearly identifying the pain or need you address helps your team focus on the right product or service.

We decided to set an arbitrary deadline for fundraising, which surprisingly motivated people to make decisions within that timeframe.
