This afternoon we had our internal meeting to discuss further about the project plan for our group work. Although this was the main agenda for the meeting, it turned out to be a good opportunity to make an in-depth analysis about the nature of our project.
Our discussions included product reviews of portable solar chargers from the company (PowerFilm, Inc) that was identified by Pasi. We also talked about NSN’s Village Connection solution, what could be their experience from previous releases and what are the likely scenarios under which their package can fit in to the solar power solution we plan to design. A number of questions were raised related to these points and the same will be forwarded to our mentor Mika Skarp.
We emphasized on the fact that we need “to be innovative and think of different approaches or concepts… [where such a product] could serve a wide range of needs or applications in the remote areas of the world”, as explained in our project description.
The ‘stakeholder analysis’ part of the project plan was also on the table for discussion. It was in fact a continuation of what we have already started during last Monday’s lecture. And the discussion of today yielded a list of additional stakeholders; more importantly, we tried to analyze how they are linked to each other. Ideas were also shared on how to structure our forthcoming workshop as well the final report itself.
That was it (more or less) for the day…we now go to work on our individual tasks to produce a good project plan for early next week.
