Phase 5: Implementation and maintenance
Once the technical solution is tested and ready to go, you can release it to the target group If the technical solution is digital, your product should be embedded in the technical environment of the system, such as a computer or mobile phone.
Explore the devices your target group uses. They may not have the latest version and the most up-to-date devices. Consider the target group’s financial situation. Social organisations or the target group are far from being able to pay a commercial rate.
Make sure the solution can be maintained. Think about open source solutions, updates that do not overload the system, and maintenance subscriptions that are affordable for the target group.
