Product - Prototype 

During this course you are going to work in multidisciplinary teams to develop a digital / ICT related product. You will work in a team based on the agile principles of product development. You will be working on innovative solutions for real-life problems and opportunities based on new technologies. You can choose from a range of existing projects or bring your own project (criteria will apply). The goal of this course is to develop a prototype product according to production specifications determined, and lays the foundation for the minimal viable product the you will develop in the second half of the minor. During this course you will practice to: 

• Perform a requirements analyses based on stakeholder interviews and deskresearch
• Develop a prototype product so it can be tested with the end user.
• Validate if the prototype solves the problem or seizes the opportunity.

Product - Minimum Viable Product 

During this course you are going to work in multidisciplinary teams to develop and market a digital / ICT related product. You will work in a team based on the agile principles of product development. You will take the prototype you've developed in the first half of the minor to the next level by developing a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that actually works and is created with suiting technologies. As a professional individual you will provide your team the needed hours and effort to complete the development of the MVP. This means in most cases you will put in lots of hours to develop the needed assets and code. The goal of this course is to develop a MVP that is ready to be tested by the market. In order to achieve this it is important to evaluate the MVP multiple time during the development process. In a final demonstration you will showcase the actual working product, but also an insight on your production process. During this course you will: 

• Develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that is ready to be tested by the market 
• Evaluate the MVP with the market
