Instruction:
The purpose of this assignment is to develop a sustainable enterprise plan for your project.
Prepare as a group with a general set of questions (don’t under-prepare or over-prepare). Emphasize convenience in finding interviewees – work through acquaintances where possible.
Execute at least one interview individually and the second one either individually or in a group of 2-3 team members (i.e., each member of the group should talk to at least 1 potential user/stakeholder individually)
These interviews may be conducted on your own in your geographic location.
Current ways in which same need is met.
Open-ended reaction to your idea – use a drawing to concretize – avoid a lot of emphasis on sustainability but pose as a question for a project with a company.
Follow up questions on situations under which product would be bought and suggested modifications to product as well as other aspects.
Take notes during and soon after so you don’t forget what was said. These notes will be helpful in writing the narrative below.
