The team did this activity during class to conduct some research for our project. Everyone from our team worked on this activity by contributing our own parts of small research we've done regarding irrigation systems. Check out the Documents page to view our Customer Discovery Activity.
The team interviewed with Adrian and Andreas to discuss the details of potential projects we could do for the Quarter! We had several options: doing research on Polytubes, leveraging an electrical pump irrigation system, analyzing water levels/doing calculations for water flow. We will actively communicate with them through WhatsApp to see if we have any questions or ask for feedback.

The team brainstormed some small ideas for our project. We listed many potential things we could do, even though they may not have sounded feasible. We also listed our SMART goals (listed at PROJECTS page) for our project. For our Team Contract, we've listed our expectations for the next 7 weeks and assigned specific roles (listed at ABOUT THE TEAM page), these roles may change in the future weeks. We also have a document of the Team Contract on the DOCUMENTS subpage.
Here are our brainstorming ideas that our team thought about. Right now, we haven't gotten the concrete components towards this project, but eventually, we will narrow it down. The most notable ideas (in terms of the # of Green stickers) were calculating water pressures and looking at water pressure specifications, taping polytubes together, changing the polytubes' materials, utilizing GIS to gather information on polytubes placement, making polytubes thicker, budgeting the polytubes, measuring water levels from nearby rivers/lakes, and providing clean water.
Our team started to prioritize the different criteria we had for our project. We prioritize through the matrix we used to decide on the most important and the least important things. We also thought a little about our MVP.
