Do you feel that your product has met the goals you set at the start of the process?

I believe our product surpassed the initial goals we set at the beginning. Each team member went above and beyond in their respective areas, exceeding expectations. For instance, we not only created a logo, but also developed packaging that perfectly complemented our product. Furthermore, our exploration of recipes options went beyond just three types which was the original plan, as we delved into a wide variety of possibilities before carefully narrowing it down to the final three. This approach and dedication from each team member ensured that we covered all aspects of our product and achieved results that exceeded our original aspirations.

  • Did design choices still fit your target audience? – The design choices we made effectively appealed to half of our target audience. However, we only make the product (packaging and logo) in one language english, excluding the Asian/Chinese population that we initially intended to cater to. It would have been more advantageous to create a logo and packaging that incorporated multiple languages, expanding our potential customer base and enabling us to sell our product in a broader range of locations. This approach would have not only increased our profitability but also provided us with a larger and more diverse audience.
  • What would you do if you had more time or resources? – I had a strong desire to introduce a third flavor, cookies and cream, which was recommended by our audience. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we were unable to create and experiment with it. However, I also believe there is potential in refining and improving our existing two flavors as well. This commitment to continuous improvement is crucial in ensuring that our product reaches its full potential. Additionally, with more resources at our disposal, I would have liked to expand our survey to a wider range of people, enabling us to gain a deeper understanding of our target audience and their preferences. This would have provided valuable insights to further enhance our product and better cater to the needs and desires of our customers.

 

How would you evaluate your contributions to the team? Anything you would like to work on in terms of team work?

I think I contributed to the team ensuring that I completed all the tasks given to me to the best of my abilities. I also maintained communication with my team members, keeping them updated on the progress and actively engaging in discussions throughout the process. Furthermore, I made a conscious effort to regularly check in on their tasks, offering help whenever needed to ensure the smooth progression of our collective efforts. While our team maintained a good level of communication, I acknowledge that I could have taken the initiative to reach out sooner and ensure that we were working cohesively as a unit rather than individually. By initiating contact consistently throughout the project, we could have potentially improved our collaboration and productivity. I understand the importance of actively seeking opportunities for teamwork and will strive to improve my proactive communication skills in future projects.
