Title: Interventions/Campaigns III


1
MIS 650Project Seminar
  • Interventions/Campaigns III
  • Proof of Concept

2
Definition
  • Proof-of-Concept is an attempt to demonstrate
    that an idea (concept) is feasible within the
    realm that it is proposed.
  • Example 1. A new kind of user interface is
    created. POC shows that users can use it.
  • Example 2. A new way to think about data is
    designed. POC shows that DBMs can employ these
    concepts in their design work

3
More
  • POC is in the design realm
  • You can design a solution to a problem, a way of
    conceiving of something, a vocabulary, a new way
    to work or teach
  • The method of POC depends on the realm of
    validity
  • Applying the solution
  • Thinking about things
  • Talking about things
  • Working
  • Teaching

POC General Process
  • Immerse yourself in the discipline
  • Understand the concepts in the discipline
  • Demonstrate the novelty of your concept
  • Provide a rationale for the area of validity
  • Create a credible proof procedure
  • Execute the proof procedure
  • Document the procedure, analyze the results

5
POC Outcomes/Deliverable
  • The concept, defined
  • The application area, researched
  • The proof procedure, documented
  • The concept, implemented (limited)
  • The experience, documented

This is often the greatest contribution of the
proof of concept.

General Procedure
2. Design criteria
3. Conceptual Design
1. Implementation criteria
5. Proof
4. Practical Implementation
7
Assumptions
  • Concept is developed to apply to a problem
  • The problem is itself interesting, hard, or
    valuable in solution
  • POC doesnt care about effectiveness or
    efficiency
  • This is not a campaign, but does resemble a case
    study
  • The proof itself is only one item on the list
    of deliverables.

8
Examples
  • Database Structure
  • M-commerce
  • Game approach to teaching
  • Faith-based science
  • Strict constructionism in judiciary
  • Others????

9
Variants
  • Survey of thought in an area (can it be described
    and talked about?) lit survey
  • Run it up the flagpole and see who salutes (can
    it be desired or sold?) market test
  • Prototyping (can it be built?) production test
  • Build-and-test (will it work?) product test
  • Clinical experiment (prove it works)
