Delivery Phase 2) Alpha:Alpha is about testing hypotheses and experimentation. The purpose of Alpha is to determine how to meet the user needs that were identified in discovery. This phase is an opportunity to quickly test different approaches with users before building a service.Deliverables:Optionally conduct Google Ventures five (5) Day Design Sprint (or variation). This sprint is a five (5) day process for answering critical business questions through design, prototyping, and testing ideas with customers * Produce “clickable” prototypes of multiple possible solutions
Delivery Phase 3) Beta:The goal of Beta is to build a real service that works well for a larger group of people. The prototypes that were developed and tested during Alpha are used to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for deployment in a live, user-facing environment. Executed within the context of Scrum methodology, the UX Designer performs the following Agile ceremonies: Stand-up meetings, Sprint Planning, Backlog grooming, Reporting, Acceptance, and Retrospective.The designers are at the spearhead of this methodology, creating and validating user stories for the developers (typical) one iteration ahead.Deliverables:User story creation and validation: * Participates in deciding which priority to tackle

The goal is to continuously monitor, research, test and iterate for as long as the service is active.Deliverables:Continue to facilitate user research activities to produce such outputs as:
