First, we must identify the stages of project production. What is each stage and what are the quality checks for each stage. Read on and find out!
Stages of Creation Development
Inspiration
How do we find ideas to develop?
- Many people go to there happy place or a quite place or even just go outside to find ideas.
- You shouldn’t be sad if you don’t get an idea on the first try its hard to find a new idea.
- you can measure the quality of the time you spent by ideas they don’t have to be good you can refine them.
- you are the only one who can measure the quality of your ideas you shouldn’t throw one away because someone said it was bad.
Intention
How do we clarify our specific goal(s) for a project?
- smart goals is a good way to create your goals
- use metaphors so people can understand the goals like if its a third person or something than use a different game as an example
