In Module 5 Part II

 

1. Digital Business Models

This section explored how digital technologies enable new forms of value creation and delivery. It emphasized that not all online businesses are truly digital—a digital business must be scalable, technology-driven, and capable of leveraging data for growth.

·   We studied several models:

·    Freemium: Offering basic services for free while monetizing premium features.

·    Subscription-based: Ensuring recurring revenue through regular payments.

·    Two-sided marketplaces: Platforms like Airbnb that connect providers and consumers.

·    On-demand services: Real-time, user-driven access to services (e.g., Uber).

·    Ad-supported and hidden revenue models: Monetizing user attention or data.

2. Lean Startup and MVP Testing

The Lean Startup methodology was a central theme. We learned how to develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to test hypotheses with minimal resources, use validated learning to iterate and improve, and apply calls to action (CTAs) to measure user interest and engagement. This approach reduces risk and accelerates innovation by focusing on real user feedback rather than assumptions.

3. Prototyping and Evolutive Software

We practiced rapid prototyping using tools like Figma for collaborative interface design and Just in mind for interactive wireframes and user flows. The concept of evolutive software taught us to release early, gather feedback, and continuously improve the product rather than waiting for a perfect version.

4. Agile Project Management with Scrum

We studied Scrum, an agile framework that supports iterative development and team collaboration. Key components included:

· Roles: Product Owner, ScrumMaster, and Development Team.

· Ceremonies: Sprint Planning, Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Reviews, and Retrospectives.

· Artifacts: Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and Burndown Charts.

We also used Trello to simulate task management and visualize workflow using Kanban boards.

5. Digital Presence and Web Strategy

We analyzed how to design and manage a digital presence, focusing on website usability and accessibility, search engine optimization (SEO), and social media integration. We also created our own blogs using Blogger, applying design principles and content strategy.

6. Legal and Ethical Aspects of Digital Business

The final unit focused on the legal frameworks that govern digital entrepreneurship, including business structures (sole proprietorships, partnerships, LLCs, and corporations), partnership agreements, intellectual property (IP), and data protection and GDPR compliance. This unit emphasized the importance of legal literacy for entrepreneurs operating in digital environments.

Tools and Platforms Used

·  Throughout the module, we engaged with several professional tools that enhanced our learning and project development:

· Figma – Collaborative design and prototyping

· Just in mind – Interactive wireframing

· Trello – Agile task and project management

·  Miro – Visual collaboration and brainstorming

·  Blogger – Personal blog creation and content publishing
