Process template: Technology project from idea to product
A workflow for project-based work...
This template provides a fixed structure for a project. Use it as a checklist in the group so you make sure you cover everything and document along the way.
§Phase 1 — Problem and requirements.
- 01Formulate the problem briefly and precisely
- 02Describe who the solution is for and what need it meets
- 03Establish requirements the solution must meet
- 04Delineate what the project is not about
§Phase 2 — Research and idea development.
- 01Research existing solutions and relevant knowledge.
- 02Generate several different solution proposals
- 03Assess the proposals against the requirements
- 04Choose one suggestion and justify the choice
§Phase 3 — Development and manufacturing.
- 01Make the joint tight and nice so water and moisture don't get in.
- 02Build construct or programme the solution
- 03Document changes and decisions in the logbook
§Phase 4 — Testing, evaluation, and presentation.
- 01Test whether the solution meets the requirements from phase 1
- 02Assess strengths weaknesses and improvement opportunities
- 03Prepare an oral and written presentation of the result
