IFB103 Design Challenge 3... Improving CityCycle.

Hi, and welcome to IFB103's design challenge 3.

Project scope: Improving Brisbane's CityCycle Bicycle sharing scheme.

We've been tasked with identifying through stakeholder and user interviews, how we can improve the flailing CityCycle scheme..

Step 1: Research... get to know your enemy product.

Step 2: Find someone who uses it... and find out why they use it and what they'd like to see improved.

Step 3: Find someone who doesn't use it, and find out their motives for why they don't and why they wouldn't use the scheme?

Step 4: More research to find out what is already being done through news and other online resources to avoid making claims/recommendations which are already in the pipeline....

Step 5: Select from some of the more common themes in the interviews and put together a persona which represents the problems identified which more closely represents a common problem rather than personalized ranting...

Step 6: Develop some solutions to the problems identified. (Flaring)

Step 7: Begin to refine those solutions into cost effective and feasible solutions. (Basic cost benefit analysis)

Step 8: Piece together the presentation pieces and start amending any outstanding design flaws prior to practice pitch

Step 9: Refine those idea's to a very short list and begin focus and iteration of those ideas for testing.

Step 10: Get awarded for achieving the impossible and turn your first profit in 4 years.

Sounds like a plan right? Lets see how this works out.
