41. Is There an IoT Opportunity in Higher Education?
• Trend & Challenge: Higher education is looking to reach
more students
• The question we should be asking:
“Is there an opportunity to help Higher Ed serve more students
successfully?”
• Then ask ourselves: How can IoT enable this?
47. Positives:
• Established an emotional connection to a need
• Ongoing empathy mapping
• Broad involvement with empathy mapping
- Included PMs, architects, program management
- Participation in daily standups to report progress, take questions
Negatives:
• Still early, have not fully assessed viability
and feasibility
• Still need to pull in other stakeholders to
further test desirability
Summary:
• Improved incorporating empathy mapping with all aspects of the project
• Unknown- scaling this to a large development team
Lessons Learned
