This document summarizes a UI/UX workshop on prototyping magic. It discusses the importance of design thinking and divergent vs convergent thinking in the design process. It also discusses the difference between minimum viable products and minimum lovable products. The document outlines Goodpatch's design process and emphasizes that prototypes are used to gain validated learning. It provides examples of how to help projects stay on schedule through techniques like setting internal deadlines and scheduling bug fixing time. Finally, it introduces the prototyping tool Prott and shares key takeaways about the role of prototypes in communication and learning.

Important:
The goal of a prototype is not the actual prototype.
It’s all about the learning.

Learning:
- Cans need grip “Slippery when wet”
—> Matters to athletes as to seniors
- Unique haptics can be fun for user
- Identified opportunity space: Packaging
- Further investigation in packaging and manufacturing

of a new product which allows a team
to collect the maximum amount of
validated learning about customers
with the least effort.”

Goodpatch Design Process - Overview
HOW WE WORK
31
GOODPATCHDESIGNPROCESSOVERVIEW
Goodpatch applies its own design process which leads us through every project.
It all starts with identifying Problems Worth Solving, followed by a team building with the client in form of a design kickoff.
Through prototyping we develop the initial Minimal Lovable Product (MLP).
Good software is never done and this is also how we imagine our client relationship while continuing working with you towards product vision,
beyond the first launch.

Projects always take much longer.
How can we deliver on time?

35. Westtech Ventures x Goodpatch
Challenge: How to deliver on time?
PROCESS
35
- Choose public release dates with important external events
(Promised App Store Feature, Speaker engagement, Scheduled Press article)
- Internal Deadlines to freeze features (Cold Features)
- Schedule enough QA time for internal bug fixes (Never not needed)
- Schedule dedicated bug fixing time after release (Never not needed)

With Prott we have developed a prototyping tool to help
designers better communicate their design with their team
from first idea to pixel perfect in a fast and easy way.

Key take-aways:
43
- Divergent phases are followed by convergent phases
- Prototypes are all about learning, learning comes from documentation
- Prototypes help you better communicate your ideas
- MLP is when you build something a small amount of users love
- External events help you achieve deadlines
