Speed bumps
▼ Scope of NDA was not clear prior to the mid-course presentation and team was unsure of what to show.
Solution: Created videos portraying our app as an actual person who executed the features present in our project.

▼ Cultural differences (work and country-wise) paved the way to have my UX work undermined.

The Goods
Rapid storyboard for our mid-presentation video. This was an out-of-the-box way to show what our app would do as NDAs had been signed and clauses had not been thoroughly discussed with the client at this time.
Storyboard becoming a reality for our mid-term presentation
Usability tests at Kesko supermarkets.
Final presentation including everyone's work (and a small surprise from Kesko).
Result
We delivered the product on time, surpassing the expectations our client had for us and we were given groceries with new products to be launched at Kesko. I felt particularly proud of this project because I managed to get my voice heard (as a designer) and the final product evaluations confirmed remarks found during the preliminary user research stages. Moreover, we got to balance the collectivist and individualist working styles and delivered a final presentation winner of the 3rd place for "Best Presentation" and a box of Fazer chocolates.
