3. “There’s just a tremendous amount of craftsmanship in
between a great idea and a great product.And as you evolve
that great idea, it changes and grows. It never comes out like it
starts because you learn a lot more as you get into the subtleties
of it.And you also find there are tremendous
tradeoffs that you have to make.”
–Steve Jobs in 1995
On Prototyping

only apps)
How: Through the exploration of
collaboration, design constraints, on-target
feedback, building on the work of others,
sharing and lots of imagination

5. Job to Be Done
Job to be done is a user-centric method on how to
