Hypothesis
We believe [TYPE OF USER] has a problem [DOING THING]. We can help them with [OUR SOLUTION]. We'll know we're right if [CHANGE IN METRIC].

Validate: Personas

Personas are your consumers archetypes with names, jobs, skills, interests and anything that is relevant to how they use your product.
Scenarios
9 © Copyright Innovecs 2012
that envision their life with your product and without it. Try to answer the question: Are the features you envisioned really necessary? Does your persona get benefit from using your product?
Interviewing your users
10 © Copyright Innovecs 2012
The most important thing is to find people who are representative of target users of your system. The people who are going to be the users of your system.
The main problem
11 © Copyright Innovecs 2012
The main problem is that a lot of people think, that there is nothing new to be found – everything is known, everything is discovered.
Testing prototypes

• Make an interactive application without writing much code: front-end interface, which is controlled by the wizard.!
• Get feedback from users!• Makes sense when it is
faster/easier/cheaper to make the than the real thing
MVP(Minimum viable product)

MVP - the least amount of work we can do to validate the hypothesis
is the core features that allow the product to be deployed, and no more.
