- You are committing to deliver a physical product, and although
we aren't at "Proto- type" just yet (that's next), this is the time
to sharpen your drafting pencils and contact with the outside world
that will help you define the experience you need to deliver in
order to succeed.
- Develop visual concepts of software, hardware and people coming
together in several use case scenarios. Make them pretty, 3D
renders, these are like ecstasy for the soul and they keep you
going to keep you inspired.
- Define your product and experience architecture: Design is
nice, but what happens under the hood is more important, and as why
people would bother to use it and how it translates to everyday
use.
- Define your software strategy. Be mindful of the Internet of
things, APIs. Will you need to consider interoperability with other
devices? Probably yes, so how does that work? How does it look
like?
- Engaging a professional team to help you build the product? Do
it after you've de-fined the co e of you invention, the desired
experience, and brand.
- Over-communicate with your team and vendors; insist on "return
on experience."
