Keep the research for an idea on a board

Weighing up an idea means looking at many apps and remembering what you thought of each. A board keeps that together: the apps, the screenshots from their store pages, and your own notes.

1. 1

   Make a board

   Open Workspace → Research boards, type a name for the idea and press Make a board.

2. 2

   Save apps to it

   On any app page, or beside an app in the Screenshot library, choose Save to a board and pick the board. The app appears on the board with its store screenshots.

3. 3

   Say why

   Under each app, write a line on why it is there: what it does well, or badly. Use Add a note for anything that is not about one app.

4. 4

   Write the idea down

   At the top of the board, put the idea in your own words: who it is for, what is missing in the apps below and what you would test first. Press Save.

5. 5
