IT Recruitment Marketplace Dashboard Project – Alpha
Alpha Phase:
The alpha phase of our project lasted (.....) weeks. It was the chance to try out new approaches and solutions to the problems researched in the discovery phase of the project. We spent the alpha phase of the project building prototypes and testing different ideas of some of the areas that we thought were going to be the most challenging and risky.
In the alpha phase we tested ideas out but not to production quality, most of this wasn't used, but it helped us to understand which ideas are worth taking forward to the beta phase of the project.
In the alpha phase of the project we focused on:
testing our riskiest assumptions
dealing with constraints
solving a whole problem for users
getting the scope of our journey right
joining up with the user's wider journey
working in the open
reusing users' information where possible
providing a joined up experience across different channels
making sure everyone can use our service (WCAG compliance)
