Post-mortem

Redo/Undo

Redo

▣ Taking feedback from our peers

▣ Recognizing when it was time to pivot our idea

Undo▣ Starting user testing

too late in the design & development process

▣ Not fostering better communication as a group

Second Chances

▣ Explore many more of the visualizations in the D3 library

▣ Use more feedback from user testing▣ Plan out project tasks more efficiently
