We were all geared up with the primary idea of the solution and after knowing the user's requirement, all that needed to discuss with the client was the final concept of putting together the application. A workshop, more a kind of a problem-solving session, was conducted where we took in the basic need of customers regarding the project.

It included the discussion on making UI/UX more interactive, what would be the features of the application, how to keep it more user-oriented, and more such things. Our team shared the insights we gathered during the research session and discussed if we can implement things to target more audiences. This overall session helped us understand the client's objective and what they wish for the solution.
