Supplementary Assessment – ITD103 Design Sprint Project
Design Sprint
This is a supplementary Design Sprint task assigned for ITD103. This assessment is individual and is expected to be submitted within a week of receipt (7 days). Please
carefully read the guidelines for this Design Sprint below. If there are any concerns or questions regarding this assessment task, please contact the course
coordinator ([email protected]).
What you need to deliver for this Design Sprint
This Design Sprint is similar in scope to Design Challenges 1 and 2, however, with a smaller time frame. You are expected to find a problem with an existing online I.T
service and apply your Design Thinking skills to deliver a solution to said problem space. You are expected to deliver an 800 word document with accompanying
images (+/- 10% word count), as well as a link to a working high-fidelity prototype that demonstrates idealized user interaction for your proposed solution.
Your document should contain the evolution of your design and problem space, from inception to finish. It should contain strong evidence of the 5 Stages of Design
Thinking. You will be expected to deliver the following in your design document:
An introduction outlining the problem space you have identified with an existing online I.T service. Ensure this problem space is not fabricated and provide 3-
5 academic or industry articles or papers to support your problem space.
Documented evidence of feedback from users regarding the true issues with the problem space. A description of the users that are appropriate for your
problem space.
A discussion (with accompanying images), regarding the iteration behind your re-design of an existing I.T service. A minimum of 3 re-design ideas are
expected in this space.
A final design prototype (with accompanying images and URL to prototype) and explanation as to why you have settled on this design.
Justification as to why your final design prototype is appropriate and how it addresses and solves the problem space first identified.
Any further images, sketches, or points of inspiration that you wish to attach to further your idea.
You are also to provide an interactive prototype to accompany your document. This prototype will be high-fidelity and should aim to solve the initial problem space
you have identified for an existing online I.T service. Your prototype should contain:
A working URL or link to your prototype that is remotely accessible (please use a prototyping tool we have already covered, such as MarvelApp or
InvisionApp).
A digital prototype that reimagines or redesigns the initial service.
Idealized interaction that simulates a working piece of software or hardware.ITD103 - Designing IT – Supplementary Assessment
