The first step for me was to focus on the empathizing phase of the design thinking, so the main research problems were:
What is the current situation?
What is the client's problem and how could I solve it on a first glance?
Assignment
Seat is looking for a solution to engage with more clients with integration of the metaverse in mind
On April 25th and 26th we gathered together in order to execute the first preparation assignments - general personal research about the metaverse, what is our opinion on that, meet up as group. We used those meetings to debate on the pros and cons of new technology and on insights about our countries.
I did the research document on the right, while the rest of the group did the project plan for the company we chose (SEAT) on Campus, something in which I couldn't but will reflect on Professional Development page.
Then just before defining and diving deeper into researching we wanted to structure a way of working, were we to follow scrum, waterfall or chaotically deliver whatever we did to the client, it had to be clear for me?
Why the scrum methodology?
The scrum framework itself is simple. The rules, artifacts, events, and roles are easy to understand. Its semi-prescriptive approach actually helps remove the ambiguities in the development process, while giving sufficient space for companies to introduce their individual flavor to it.
The organization of complex tasks into manageable user stories makes it ideal for difficult projects. Also, the clear demarcation of roles and planned events ensure that there is transparency and collective ownership throughout the development cycle. Quick releases keep the team motivated and the users happy as they can see progress in a short amount of time.

How could we optimize our efficiency?
The tool for that is Trello, we want to keep things organised, and be able to keep an eye on what everyone is doing at the moment. Meeting up in the morning is also easy with SCRUM, because we are never in the same place.
