Approach

  1. Mia approached us with the idea and wanted to further develop and validate it. Together we elaborate the idea and worked out the technical side of the tool.
  2. We are provided advice, guidance and support for the rapid development of a lean software product.
  3. The tool was developed in co-creation. Weekly meetings were held to ensure Mia's input and quickly respond to feedback.
  4. After 8 weeks, a proof of concept was achieved. This is the initial working version of the tool.
  5. With this proof of concept, validation could be sought from the target audience. This means that the application was ready to be tested by the public.

“They motivated us to think big and didn't hold us back from dreaming, even with a limited budget and tight deadline”
