Week 45

On week 45 we had some pair programming sessions, with 2 to 3 members programming in the same place at the same time. This proved to be a much efficient way of programming than just coding by oneself, as we could discuss the problems and figure out solutions together and not just in our own minds. The only problem with pair programming is finding times that suit others, as most of us are quite busy during the week as well as during some weekends.

On Friday the 6th of November there was the second lecture on Lean Start-Up. The main topic covered on the lecture was the Lean Canvas business model, which includes figuring out our problem, the solution, our key metrics, cost structures, Unique Value Propositions (UVP), unfair advantages, channels, customer segments and revenue streams. Another important topic was the revenue model, which determines how a company or a supplier of a product is compensated for each of the business service provided. Our revenue model is shown in Figure 1 below.

We had a meeting after the lecture, where we discussed the problems so far and figured some possible solutions to them. The goals were set for next week as well as the date for our next meeting.
