We had received a Product Challenge from Digital Harbor.  The Product Challenge was to pitch for a product for a bank. The solution should  help making decision whether to approve a business loan to businessmen. I had thought through the problem. As per me the ideal solution would be a one in which banks can collaborate with each other, across the country and across all banks. The solution which I proposed is called DCRAT ( DYNAMIC CREDIT RISK ASSESSMENT TOOL ). You can refer to the slides at this link for more details DIGITAL HARBOR DCRAT Had also prepared mock up for this solution. Here is the mock up. https://invis.io/2GKKX7ECA64  I had also a list of Scrum Epics and features at a very high level.  We were given 3 day to come up with a solution and present it. 

After US had dropped atomic bombs ‘Little Boy’ and ‘Fat Man’ on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, sea water along the coasts had become contaminated. As a result, many fishes had died or had become contaminated. Now, fisherman in the coastal areas, had a tough scenario to deal with. They had to go far and wide into the ocean to catch alive and healthy fishes. By the time fisherman used to come back to the beach and go to the market, fishes would become stale and lose the taste. Customers would refuse to buy or pay less price for it. To overcome this challenge, they thought of using freezers in their boats in which they can keep the fishes frozen after catching them. They started using freezers. Customers still didn’t like the taste of frozen fishes and still were not willing to pay high price for the fishes. Fishermen’s problem was still not solved. Then they thought of replacing freezers with water tank. Intent was that fishes need natural habitat by the time they can be brou...
