Executive Summary

Describe key findings and recommendations. In particular, identify which concept you recommend pursuing for the remainder of the semester. Provice a hypothetical user scenario representative of your target market from your research findings to motivate your top solution concept.

Market Research

Provide description of market research and observations. Include pictures to communicate key observations and insight. Summarize top stakeholder product needs in alist

Product Stakeholder Needs

We have identified possible needs and wants for all possible stakeholders. The identified needs are those needs that are essential in order to encourage the stakeholder to use it. The identified wants are additional features that may benefit the stakeholder, however, they are not vital to the use of the product. For the purpose of this study, the consumer is the person pumping up the bike tire, not necessarily the bike owner.

Stakeholder Needs and Wants
Stakeholder	Needs	Wants
Consumer	Product should not require much force or time during pumping process Mechanical advantage and efficiency during the pumping process Intuitive	Balances strong performance and minimal cost Lightweight and space efficient Ergonomic Durability
Retailer	Cheap & durable materials Efficient storage	Aesthetically appealing Standardization
Manufacturer	Cheap & easily processed materials Mass production Easy assembly	Volume-efficient materials
Shipping & Transportation	Lightweight Durability	Space-efficient packaging

Design Concepts

Provide sketches and descriptions of your top 3-5 design concepts, describing what opportunities have been identified and how they will be addressed.

The following is a description of how our product is used and key notes and observations from the study.

Cornering Headlight

Automatic Kickstand

Energy Storage Wheel

Dropper Seat Post

Pugh Chart

Identify relevant competitor products from your patent searches, commercial searches, web searches and expert interviews. Compare pros and cons of each of your concepts on a standard Pugh Chart against your top stakeholder needs, and benchmark against the most relevant competitors. If your concepts are better on some attributes and worse on others, identify any market segments likely to value the tradeoffs you can offer.

Gantt Chart

Map out team plan for design and prototyping through the remainder of the semester. Please be detailed to your particular project and individual member contributions.

Group Dynamic

Update and identify team member roles during this phase and summarize process.
