The first one is after step 1 when the created user stories can be validated and fine tuned with the help of user testing. For this we usually propose user interviews where we present the concept to members of the target group. At the interview we collect their overall feedback and also detailed feedback and prioritisation on the different user stories. Also we ask about their ideas and what additional user stories they could find useful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>User testing can be also done once the designed prototype is ready, this helps to validate the overall acceptance of the idea including the functionality, structure and design. The user feedback gathered can be used to modify the final concept.<\/p>\n                                                                <script>\r\n                                    jQuery(document).ready(function() {\r\n                                      jQuery('.accordion-content table').each(function() {\r\n                                          var table = jQuery(this);\r\n                                          table.wrap('<div class=\"table-wrapper\" style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"><\/div>');\r\n                                      });\r\n                                  });\r\n                                <\/script>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                            <div class=\"accordion-item\">\r\n                            <div class=\"accordion-header\">\r\n                                <h5>Market research<\/h5>\r\n                                <span class=\"icon\">\r\n                                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" height=\"1em\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M256 80c0-17.7-14.3-32-32-32s-32 14.3-32 32V224H48c-17.7 0-32 14.3-32 32s14.3 32 32 32H192V432c0 17.7 14.3 32 32 32s32-14.3 32-32V288H400c17.7 0 32-14.3 32-32s-14.3-32-32-32H256V80z\"\/><\/svg>\r\n                                <\/span>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                            <div class=\"accordion-content\">\r\n                                <p>Some of our Clients also task us to do market research on the given business idea.
