Octalysis Prime Design Challenge: Project: Design New OP Items IIYu-kai Chou
Many OP Members have been using Items on the Island to grow and level up. However, there are still only 3 types of items, which could feel a bit undiversified and short on meaningful choices.
We would love to have OP Members come up with new meaningful ways to spend their Chou Coins and make their OP experiences more enjoyable and dynamic.
The Winner and Finalists will be selected based on who has the most ideas that we will end up deciding to implement on the Island.
The OP Design Challenges provide an opportunity to put your Octalysis skills into practice. Watching the videos and interacting with other Primers and the OP Team on Slack is a good start,
applying your knowledge will truly take your skills to the next level.
The focus for this challenge will be on implementing existing brainstorming in high fidelity wireframes.
This challenge is based on an Octalysis Group project done for BitDegree, the world’s first blockchain- powered online education platform. Watch their 2017 Launch Video to get an idea about what BitDegree aims to achieve.
Most ‘Massive Open Online Courses’ have a 10-16% completion rate. After the design of the Octalysis Group (by Joris and Sabrina) was implemented, BitDegree now has a 50% completion rate, a 400% increase in course completion in 3 months.

There's a lot of content available about design sprints; what they are, how to run them, why they are useful. Key to them being successful is having a diverse team, including engineers. Very little of the content available covers the important role engineers play at this stage of product creation.
For those who want to do something different in their life here I am sharing the Ideas of How to Innovate new product or technique and the what is the Brain storming and how it helps in Innovation.
User Stories Suck by David Hawks at North Dallas Product Owners MeetupAgile Velocity
The User Story concept was invented almost 20 years ago, it’s time for an update. This outdated process supports an old way of working focused on predictable requirements delivery instead of product discovery. Wouldn’t you like to know much earlier which features are not going to be valued by your market? We need techniques that shorten the feedback loop with customers, not stakeholders. We need to prioritize based on riskiest assumptions and iterate quickly through small experiments in order to (in)validate our ideas as fast as possible.

Testing the unknown: the art and science of working with hypothesisArdita Karaj
Testing what we know, or have a clear understanding of, is relatively straight forward, as is making decisions based on the expected result. But today’s world is presenting us with the Unknown and the Ambiguous, which can only be approached by hypothesizing and experimenting - a lot! This requires intentional thinking, and a different strategy to observe in context.
This session will uncover how testers are helping their teams and product owners, by basing their testing on the science behind creating hypotheses and running experiments. A testing mindset and probing the context around use cases are some of the most valuable competencies testers bring to the team in order to enable decisions based on data.
We have a lot of talent here in Octalysis Prime, and each Challenge we are impressed with your work. The level of submissions by our trusted veterans is now often so high that new Primers can feel intimidated to participate.
We also noticed that we’ve been focusing on one aspect of Gamification: Brainstorming.
There are many more important aspects of human-focused design: user research, analyzing, game looping, battle-planning, visual design... After all, a good idea only yield results if it’s implemented
in the right place, for the right people, in the right way. So, we decided to do something different.
For this Challenge you will produce a concise finished deliverable.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to present my latest portfolio on LinkedIn, marking the culmination of my architectural journey thus far. Over the span of five years, I've been fortunate to acquire a wealth of knowledge under the guidance of esteemed professors and industry mentors. From rigorous academic pursuits to practical engagements, each experience has contributed to my growth and refinement as an architecture student. This portfolio not only showcases my projects but also underscores my attention to detail and to innovative architecture as a profession.
2. Welcome
Level 1
Hi Octalysis Primer,
You have watched many videos on the Island, discussed your new knowledge
on Slack and impressed your friends with your understanding of Octalysis.
Now it is time for a Challenge, an Octchallengis!
Here, you have the chance to apply your Octalysis knowledge and get official
feedback from an expert to learn from and help you on your path to mastery.
The best way to learn is to apply your knowledge and you can do that here.
For a level 1 you must display competency in the usage of the fundamentals of
the Octalysis Framework. It is not meant to be quick, nor easy. It is meant to be
rare and prestigious.
If you have any questions, reach out to myrte@chouforce.com.
3. TheOctalysisCertificate
The Octalysis Certificate is the official badge of honor by Yu-kai and his team to validate that
someone has the proper understanding and skills to wield the Octalysis Framework.
Instead of taking an easy multiple-choice quiz, like many other certificates require (sometimes
after a $1000+ payment), the Octalysis Certificate is earned by submitting a free form design.
Following the Octalysis Strategy Dashboard, an Octalysis Analysis and Brainstorming.
This is the type of work and discipline that true experts and designers use in real life projects
to improve the world.
4. WhatOthersSayAboutOctalysis
"Octalysis is a powerful and pragmatic framework to understand human nature and positive motivators that
encourage people to do their best work. It should be required reading for anyone building, managing, or
collaborating with a team, community, or ecosystem.”
Susie Wee, CTO of Networked Experiences at Cisco Systems
“Yu-kai’s Insights were instrumental in helping Lucky Diem supercharge our client La Quinta’s bookings per user by
206% and incremental revenue per user by $157 (132% Lift) against the control group. Being able to achieve a viral
coefficient of 530%, I would recommend any business to work with Yu-kai and learn his Octalysis Framework.”
Andrew Landis, Founder & CEO of Lucky Diem
"Yu-Kai’s Octalysis framework is a powerful addition to the tool kit of any creative professional."
David Webster, Managing Director of IDEO
