Studio #1 - Group Formation
During the Studio you should try to form a group with balanced skills, in CCU groups usually have:
- A project manager - someone with good organization and communication skills that can bring a group together and on schedule while resolving conflicts
- A user research lead - someone good at creating empathy with others with a critical eye and good observation skills that likes to listen
- A design lead - someone with good design skills that can produce high-quality presentations, communicate things visually, and design interactions following guidelines
- A front-end developer - someone that is good at coding user interfaces in mobile or web platforms, that is capable of translating design ideas into working code
- A back-end developer - someone that prefers to write backend code without any user interface, that understands web services, databases and transactions
During this Studio, we will also start introducing the project brief.
