Design Challenge III - The Great Rehearsal
This week, we had compiled our interviews from the "Empathize" design thinking mode and it had luckily related to our "Problem Definition" and ideas.
We were all already in the middle of the prototyping stage from last week and were able to complete it easily (Our various sketches and solutions to our problem).
This meant putting together our solution and our role play ready for the rehearsal on the workshop.
While we realized the next workshop was a rehearsal, we did not know what to expect - nor properly understand what the roles of the narrator and problem definer were really meant to do. This was especially because we had an extra member of our team which meant we were unsure to have more stakeholders or split the problem definition and the solution to 2 different people.
However on the day of the workshop - ("Testing" Design Thinking Mode), we found we were supposed to produce the poster (which we haven't put together) and produce the full role play for the workshop. While we were supposed to go first, we had weaseled out and allowed another group to perform first. This allowed us to see an example of the role play we were to perform and understand the roles better.
Upon this discovery, a last second change was made (right before we went up) where I was to become a stakeholder from the student's perspective.
The role-play went well except for some last second shuffling by the team which could have gone a lot better, but the feedback received assisted us in improving our role play for the actual performance.
Overall, this week, again we had a couple of problems. We could've been a lot better organized for the role play if we had properly asked and understood the task beforehand, rehearsed and organize scripts (My own role was speaking out of my own experience with O-Week with a couple points from the interview). If I had assisted my team in that area and helped one of our team members (he was absent for team meeting again due to job interview) to catch up to speed, it would have reduced a lot of hassle.
