CONCEPT GENERATION VERIFICATION VERIFICATION IMPROVE BETA MOVE INTO GAMMA PRESENTATION! ? ? Gamma C o n t r a c t Survey! Congratulations! Your design has stakeholder input, accounts for competition, and people want it! Form a team Create a team contract Research Build the concept Choose and compare two products Create two alternative designs Create a verification plan of predefined product specifications Complete a Blue Ocean Diagram Develop a survey to test the game Finalize specifications Assess alpha Provide metrics for specifications Use survey to assess prototype List three adaptations for beta Write a bill of materials Use other teams’ suggestions to improve beta Finalize bill of materials, cost, and rules Provide proof of verification (DOE) Analyze feedback, comments, and surveys Document gamma prototype What would you add or change about your game? Turn in product and digital work Answer the following in 1-2 sentences: Are the rules clear & concise? Does it have extra parts it doesn’t need? How much do you think it should cost? Is your prototype easy to play if you are not present to give directions? What will make a customer want to pick this game up and buy it? What other games are similar to it? GAME LAB!
