2 days down!!!
The first couple of days here at the lab have been a real experience. Turning up with very little pre-conceived idea of what our 'thingy' would be, beyond what we had written in our initial application has proved really useful. Through a process of bashing our idea around with the other other teams we spent Monday re-assesing what the core fabric of what we wanted to achieve was. Tuesday, would prove to be all about how we were going to achieve it. Through the incredibly useful (but frequently frustrating) process of inventing users and user scenarios we came up with three likely users - to add familiarity we named them Dave, Claire and Dan. It's been a rollercoaster trip with them so far! Yesterday morning they seemed quite approachable, but by yesterday afternoon Sukhi and I would probably have killed them had we seen them in the street! Fortunately this morning, the dust has settled and our idea has come out the other side looking much healthier! Watch this space to see what happens in the next couple of days (ad if Dave, Claire and Dan are still our friends come Friday!!)
