Users are integral to the
development of the service.
By consulting and prototyping
with real users we gain a
rich understanding of their
attitudes, behaviours, needs
and wants. This allows us to
optimise existing functions
and inform new ones.
Early prototypes typically
start life as low fidelity
paper based mockups
before being digitalised.
The iterative nature of the service’s
development ensures that risks are
minimised and that the user experience
is never compromised – developing
functions (not features) that users
need, want and prefer to use.
The graph above illustrates how
prospective additional functions could
be layered to evolve the service –
driven by user need and demand.
