4. Phase 1: Concept Development Identify Customer Needs - Interviews
Primary Customer(s)
Interviewed JJ- learned.. (alex- you might be able to articulate this the best as you actually visited Nazareth)
Interviewed Sara (or will)
Quantify
Indicate who you have already interviewed, and what you have learned. Indicate who you plan to interview, and when, where and how you will capture the resulting information.
Other Stakeholder(s)
Interviewed DeBartolo
Ted Conway?
Talked with prior DPM team members
Past Senior Design Team(s)
Tons of info here from our background presentation
Identify any and all senior design teams from the past or under way now that may have a connection to your project. What resources already exist that you can draw upon? What hardware, software, design, data, customer interviews, case studies, and other information already exist? What do you learn from that data. Note that this task is usually overlooked by many DPM students, and they end up re-doing a lot of work that has already been done. Take advantage of past knowledge – just make sure to cite your sources very thoroughly. List all visits completed, in process, and pending.

5. Roadmap Context
Most senior design projects are one part of a larger family of related projects.
Demonstrate where this particular project fits into the larger family of projects.
If multiple DPM students are working on closely related projects, you may wish to consolidate multiple project updates into a single comprehensive presentation for the entire family of projects.
Avoid the pitfall of having your project being isolated and not part of a larger picture

6. Phase 1: Concept Development Identify Customer Needs - Interpret
Needs Statements:
Express the need in terms of WHY the customer would spend money on this product.
Human services, improve clinic capabilities, make job easier
Express the need in terms of WHAT the product has to do for the customer, not in terms of how the product might do it.
Accuracy and reliability, ease of use (from bg present)
Express the need as specifically as the raw data.
Use positive phrasing
Express the needs as attributes of the product
Graphical Interpretation
Propose a first draft affinity diagram based on your raw data collected
From class- finalized on Friday before bg presentation- split up original affinity diagram in:
Lessons Learned affinity diagram
Stakeholder needs affinity diagram
Propose a first draft objective tree based on your interpretation of the data collected
5 Stakeholders from Friday Oct 2nd
Propose a first draft function tree based on your proposed functional approach to the problem
Organize the Needs into a Hierarchy
Propose a first draft based on your data collected
Establish the Relative Importance of the Needs

7. Affinity Diagram – Raw data from Customers and Stakeholders

8. Objective Tree – Why Does the Customer Need this Product?
To avoid overlapping of info- perhaps have 1 general objective tree and function tree covering all common issues AKA needs to be easy to use, relatively comfortable, etc. Then if specific projects feel like they need separate project trees could branch out or make smaller, more concise trees.. Bonsai trees?

9. Function Tree – What does this product need to do?
