• I briefly spoke at the Mito Jr. Boost Conference ‘21 Lightning Talk.

  • I had a pretty long conversation with nztm and YukiMihashi on Zoom.

    • I think I exposed all my regrets and lessons learned as cautionary tales.
    • However, I don’t remember much about what we talked about… lol.
      • So, I’ll write down what I remember.
  • I couldn’t conduct enough user tests.

    • On the other hand, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project was delayed until early February to conduct experiments in the actual field, and it was disappointing that we couldn’t provide sufficient feedback on the developed software. (PM evaluation)

    • Excuses:
      • It took a lot of effort to prepare for each user test.
      • Face-to-face testing was difficult due to online classes.
    • Causes:
      • The combination of “effort + anxiety about being criticized > expectations” happened.
  • I should have been more proactive in contacting the PM.

    • I was told in advance by yunolv3, but in the end, I didn’t contact them much outside of the monthly meetings.
      • Regretful.
  • I didn’t properly create a long-term schedule.

    • I wrote something when applying for the Unexplored project, but it became meaningless after the pivot.
      • I should have rewritten it at that time and aimed to achieve it.
  • I should have bought a good chair earlier.
