A team designing a fitness tracking app found that users struggled to monitor daily physical
activities.
They defined the problem and brainstormed features like GPS tracking and step counting.
After creating prototypes and testing them, they improved navigation and user interface design.
Finally, they refined, developed, tested, and launched the user-friendly fitness tracking app.

7. Brainstorming feature for proposed product

7. Analyze strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT).
8. Check technical, financial, and resource feasibility.
9. Conduct market research and gather user feedback.
10. Create prototypes and perform user testing.
11. Evaluate costs, benefits, and possible risks.
12. Finalize features, document them, and improve when needed.

Example:
For a mobile messaging app, the team suggested features such as:
End-to-End Encryption for privacy
Message Scheduling for sending messages later
Reaction Emojis for expressive communication
Dark Mode for night usage
Polls and Surveys for group decisions
Auto-Translate for multilingual communication

8. Defining the Look and Feel of the new Project
