Project Magnet	David/Maria	Gate 0	On Target	Checkin December 21 with PIB with User Study results and Design Direction Scheduling a date for Gate 1 review in early January Overall Hawaii work week was very useful to the team - where we now have a stronger design direction, user journey, and stories beyond the last release. User Validation Study Ran week before Hawaii with 9 people interviewed and testing a mockup Overall had good results and validated hypothesis, but also greatly influenced our design direction and discussion during Work Week. Problem Hypotheses: People have FOMO about knowledge and experiences in the world around them, existing solutions provide useful practical information but are geared towards consumption of goods and services, not gaining knowledge or experiences Experience Strategy: Provide a sense of adventure and progress in the experience, combine the digital and physical worlds in a unique and compelling way, provide visually engaging stories and encourage user-generated content to add value. Problem-solution fit - does our concept have value? We think it does. We are taking stories a bit deeper, and with continuity of a story across different locations. We found that our solution seems very unique and compelling to people who tried it. Can't get the type of content we have elsewhere. Product New User Stories in progress based on a User Journey we worked on in Hawaii. Will release these after some team review. Development Released the new iOS version right before Hawaii. Available in App Store and Google Play. Supports over 1100 deployed points of interest in London and some in San Francisco. Working on technical architecture document for a more 'magazine' style interface. UX Working on new mockups that will support the design direction.

GameON!	Candice/Julie	Gate 0	Moved to Backlog	Hawaii Work Week Efforts Worked on schematic and pcb for spinner and board Defined MVP for post Gate 0 phase Developed questions to answer in user studies Worked on dev tool kit for contributor game development Conclusions GameON! shows potential in providing new and exciting functionality and interactions that don't currently exist in the target market. Connected Devices has a limited number of resources and cannot continue to carry forward every project that shows promise. Decision was made to move GameON! into the backlog.
