Acceptance Criteria are used in User Stories as a way for a Developer or QA to test a feature and make sure it covers everything specified in the User Story.

A brand is an abstract concept that refers to how a company is viewed by the public, including both factual and opinionated details.

Edge Cases are unlikely scenarios that can occur when using a feature that in some cases is not solved entirely.

​

This refers to creating a vitality effect or spreading word of mouth about your product to grow your User-base. Generally, companies struggle to increase Network Effect and it is something Growth Product Managers take into consideration when building workflows.

​

A Prototype is a 3D mock that allows you to interact with it as if it was real or coded by a developer.

​

​

​

​

This refers to the development team having work that must be completed at some point in the future that won’t result in a new workflow (feature). It is basically like having a credit card and owing money back to the bank.

​

​

User Stories are used in tandem with the High Fidelity Prototype as written instructions to the developers on how to properly code the feature.

Adoption refers to how many Users end up frequently returning to use the platform after it is launched.

​

A Design System is setting a standard way that a UI (User Interface) is designed and developed to create a uniform ascetic.

Design Thinking is a human-centered, empathy-first approach to creativity and innovation. Its underlying principle is focusing on user needs, aspirations, wishes, concerns, and frustrations in attempting to solve their problems.

Low fidelity means it is a rough version of the prototype used for early rounds of gathering feedback. High Fidelity is used when it is being polished and presented to potential investors or used to write User Stories.

We are people who are like Chandler from the TV show, Friends. Nobody outside the team understands what we do for a living. Our primary purpose is to uncover problems that our Users have and find creative ways technology can solve the problem and earn business revenue.

“Showcase” is the page of the platform that is commonly referred to as a Listing Page, that displays the product or service to the Users.
