It is July already and almost half way though our capstone period. Our qualitative interviews are turning out great. In our status call last week, Erik was very pleased with the insights we provided from our last interview. In this meeting we also discussed the change in target demographics. Going further, Bailout is only going to target Professional firefighters and not Volunteer fire fighters. Our secondary report supported this. Conversations of different fire fighters that I read across firefighting forums mentioned how Volunteer fire fighters would hesitate to spend huge amounts for tools. Erik also liked our proposal for testing the prototype among different firefighters to collect testimonials. He wanted to confirm the idea with the team, but he seemed very excited.
We have our second project review scheduled for Tuesday. Everything seems to be happening very fast now and it seems time is flying. This coming week after our another qualitative interview, Ross and I would start working on various concepts for our quantitative survey. Our concern after this point would be getting the right survey respondents. The firefighters we interviewed till now have provided maximum support in sharing their knowledge. They also agreed to helping us out with the survey. I am hoping we get enough respondent when we reach that stage.
Although everything seems steady, I am worried that time is going to be a big challenge after this point. We have been very excited about the product since the very beginning and I hope we achieve what we have planned for this project.
