Rapid Cycle Evaluation

How it Works

You have a usable product, but it hasn't been fully implemented "in the wild" with end users. With Rapid Cycle Evaluation studies, we work closely with your product team and leadership through multiple iterations of the product based on user feedback. After codesigning research questions, we recruit school partners to participate in multiple research sprints. Your team will receive concise and actionable feedback from users every few weeks, allowing you to identify and resolve initial problems quickly, and users to react to changes made during the study. After all study cycles are completed, findings and changes from all cycles are consolidated and presented to your team. The end goal is to improve a product so that it's easy to use and fits into the realities of a classroom/learning environment workflow.
