Subtitle subtitle Our MVP 5

Hypothesis 27 Hypothesis Form Component: Value Proposition 6 Model Version leadteam 1. 0 Code: VP 09 Hypothesis University students find our MVP user-friendly. Test Interview 20 University Students, show our MVP, ask if it is easy to learn. Validation 75% of the students responded “yes”. Valid

User-Friendly – “Yes” ˃ Is it user-friendly and easy to learn? No Yes One of our students believed it: I would imagine something more simple and easy. But the ideas of the features seem very good ˃ Yet, most of them thought it didn’t need any instructions and it was very simple to use Seemingly skipping the need for any instructions as you go along It is visual and intuitive, as well as organized It’s nice that you can keep track discussions by week/subject which is one of the main problems of the Facebook chat when you are 5 people speaking on the wall (and even worst, on the chat) 7 It could be nice to be able to choose if you want to have the chat or not (when you want to work and don’t want to get the comments from others)

. But. . . Can we still improve? ˃ Biggest mistake: colours I would change the pattern of the colors to something more "serious" (black/white, dark blue/white) Colors don’t fit with Facebook Have a customizable working environment with different colors (Included a more classic or sober version). ˃ Further suggestions to improve Is it possible to create “course folders” for yourself without sharing it? Customize it depending on the workload. The design of the interface could be more attractive. 8 Well organized so that students from different areas could use it in an efficient way.

Pre-order? ˃ ˃ Most of the students would only Model try it if it was for free They would test it first, and only then adopt it Would be interested in testing it to be more convinced and then, I could adopt it perhaps. If it is free, yes! If not maybe just to try the first year ˃ One student even pointed out that: even if I personally like it, it also depends on how much my teamworkers are willing to use it or not.

Still, most chose 6. Most are done by e-mail, so it might take a while!
