EVERYTHING else is gravy, you can have dummy screens, dummy data etc etc etc, this is NOT a fully working, ready to hand off MVP

6. Final Project: Demo/Swift Code Requirements

8. KJ of Note:
The main difference is that Affinity Diagram focus on ideas whereas KJ Analysis is focusing on “facts”.
MIT Rule of “10”
If you have a crisp target user definition, you only need to interview 7 people and you will start hearing the same things.
Set out to interview 15 or 20 with the end goal you will cull down to 7

9. Final Project: Pitch 5 minutes pitch & demo
5 minutes of questions/feedback from the judges

10. There must be a clear story that you walk through seamlessly in your final Pitch & Demo
Incorporate an opening scenario, which sets an urgent narrative, then follow that scenario through in your demo
Remember, the most convincing presentations and demos (convincing that your team and your proposition is most likely to be used and to make an impact on those users) will be scored the highest.
Make your presentations as indisputable as possible......QUOTE YOUR USERS!!!....use them in building your case!!!
