and mapped out the ecosystem along with the client.

Key takeaways from co-creation workshop:

  • Fundamentals of the coal mining operations

  • The stakeholders and the client expectations

  • The objective of the application is to help executives,

    • Identify the factors compromising productivity

    • Identify opportunities for increasing efficiency

During the ideation phase we used quick sketches to discuss and brainstorm the workflow with our client. These sketches served as building blocks to explore, add and prioritise features. We refined them further as a blueprint to statr with low-fidelity wireframes.
