Discussion of Research Plan
1. Choose a Slight Focus
The team identified a focus area: reducing packaging waste from pod-style coffee making.
2. User-Focused Design Research
The focus area led to the research question, “Why don’t more consumers properly recycle coffee pods?” To better understand the stakeholder contexts and constraints, the team decided to use surveys and interviews to gather information on consumers. These research methods allow the team to ask pointed questions that will get to the root of the research question.
3. Concept Video
Members shared ideas for how their short video should play out.
