10. Project Management Tool
Design projects
Problem:
At COWI, meetings had 3 types of tools: technical, pen and paper, and whiteboards. Thesethingscouldbeconsideredenough, but brainstorming meetings wouldoftenresultin breaks in workflow, ideation, or overview-projectmanagers neededsomethingPrince2-method-related thatcouldaccelerateinteractivityand flow.

Design projects
Solution:
Tactiletoolsbasedon Prince2 models, likeProduct Decompostion. Size, functionality, and feel, wasiteratedupon and tested.

12. Internal Headset Webshop
Design projects
Problem:
Internal COWI web-shop was a relic from pre-Sharepointtimes and needed usability and updated accessability, and wanted to implement personas. Essentially, employees bought wrong products because they did not understand the product names.

13. Internal Headset Webshop
Design projects
Solution:
Basedon a simple persona, i.e. "a worker", and on howmuchtime hespendson differentlocations, the solution presenteditselfas a highlyvisualSharepointsite presentingeasy-to- figure-out approach, basedon infographics.
Feedback:
Immediately after being
implemented, this solution
got reactions:
"Why hasn't this been implemented
in the rest of the shop?"
"This is much better than the lists
we have, could you do this with
other products and personas?"

Furthermore:
The production had a tight deadline, a limited budget, and a large-scale scope/requirements. On top of this, the project had many owners and a top- down control.

The ONE Game

20. Game Design
Jam Session
Has been
pitched to:
Welcome to the world of musicwhere Jam Sessionsare your ticket to stardom. The question is: do you have enough narcissism to be the singer? Enough rage to be a guitarist? Just the right amount of stoicism to be a bass player? The total lack of self-discipline it takes to be on drums?Could you curse your way through a song on the syntheziser?
Find outin Jam Session.
•Communicate and strategisewith your team to finish a jam, or lose it all if the audience leaves.
•Pressure the group into playing what you want to play, because you always know best.
•Score big by doing solo's!
It takes noleadership, a lot ofbackstabbing and a springleof finesse to stand out. Does that sound like any band you know?

21. Game Design
RoboCoop
The goal of RoboCo-Op is to advance through 2 different levels through the completion of a series of puzzles build around the attract/repel mechanic. The control scheme is build around the Xbox 360 controller and based on an Unreal Tournament 3 human character.RoboCo-op ended up with a 4th. place in the category 'Best Use of Physics' in phase 4 in the worldwide competitionMake Something Unreal, where game developers from all over the world compete on developing the best Mods, vehicles, graphics, etc. for the Unreal Tournament 3.
RoboCo-Op is a 2 player third person cooperative puzzle game for the PC, in which you control a pair of robots equipped with powerful beam weapons that can move specific objects from a distance. One player has the ability to attract objects with a tractor beam, while the other player has the ability to push objects with a repel beam. It is impossible to advance without working together and utilizing the environment.

22. Game Design
The ONE Game
ONE is an experimental video game made by a handful of students at the IT University of Copenhagen. ONE is an unconventional game filled with engaging puzzles and challenges, where you must discover the true meaning of ONE.
The premise for this design was 'thematic' and 'narratively'. The goal is tied to the name, which is tied to everything else. ONE.
Link to video
Focus of the game design was related to making every level different, but with the same outcome: ONE, This meant that players would always know what their goal was, even when they did not know what the level rules where.
