\n“The point of a pilot is just to test out a concept.”<\/strong> – Dan Mall<\/p>\nThe Heartache of Design at Scale, Ep. 3 (1:28 – 1:31)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
What I would consider a pilot is my work in Figma. Currently during assignment 01, creating Mercado, my group and I went straight into wireframes and style tiles in Figma. We then further adapted color and components into our application. Using these raw prototypes, I tested the flow with my friends and roommates. For some it was no problem running through the app while with others there was a few confusing points. It is testing to see if the app works and is engaging with users. Testing the first iterations of Mercado would be considered a pilot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#1 Common Use <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Common use in Mercado would be headers and footers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#2 Highly Valued <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Highly valued in Mercado would be Doordash\/Grubhub widgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#3 Technical Feasability <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Technical Feasability in Mercado would be using Figma and Github.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#4 Available Champion <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Available champion in Mercado would be out spokes person\/leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#5 Scope <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Scope in Mercado is time spent on wireframes while meeting a deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#6 Technical Independence <\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Technical independence in Mercado would be relying on Sublime to code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#7 Marketing Potential<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
Marketing potential in Mercado would be inpiration for another project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With these seven factors, they all make up a pilot. I can relate each one to a step of our process in building Mercado. Using style guides is also another helpful tool in connecting with a team to all visually create working components and feeling within the application. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
