Planning
After the research phase, at the end of week 2 or the beginning of week 3 we will finish a brief report on our results of the research. The prototypes need to be constructed before the Christmas holidays, so at the end of week 6, but it is possible to let the clay dry during these weeks. The prototyping phase and the sales phase overlap in the ninth week and we expect that preparing the prototypes for testing and evaluation could take a bit longer. However, this will not be a problem, because we could start the activities in the sales phase, while the prototypes are being prepared for the tests and evaluation. At the end of week 11 we will finish the whole project. As a conclusion to our project we will give a presentation to KITA about what we have done and what can be done next.
