Problem and Vision Statement
Problem and Vision Statement
Problem and Vision Statement
Our project's vision and problem statement were like guiding stars that illuminated our path throughout the prototype development process. By clearly defining our vision, we established a shared understanding of the ultimate goal we were striving to achieve. This vision served as a compass, keeping us focused and aligned on the core objectives of our project.
Similarly, our problem statement provided a concrete framework for identifying and addressing the key challenges we aimed to solve. It acted as a roadmap, guiding our decision-making process and ensuring that every feature we included in the prototype was directly tied to addressing the identified problem.
