16. Just a few hints…
• Always stop the talking at some point
and start doing more concrete things
- start prototyping and testing the ideas!
• Accept the different phases from total
frustration to nirvana during the long
process
• Be confident with your own skills and
don´t be afraid to use & share them!
• Commit to the 48 hours - Stay till the
end and don´t let your team down!
