Consider product infrastructure, environment and equipment needs

Infrastructure, environment and equipment are key details of the product that is delivered to the participant - where and how they participate.

• Where includes the details on the places, spaces and environment each component of the product is delivered in​
• How includes details on the equipment needed to participate in the product

Questions to ask

1. What are the high-level infrastructure and equipment needs based on core product design and participant needs?​
2. Can we meet these needs through our current facility supply? ​
3. Can we use non-traditional facilities, places and spaces to reduce barriers to participation for participant and deliverers?​
4. ​Can we use cost-effective and modified equipment to reduce barriers to participation for participant and deliverers?​
5. Can we consider different locations and equipment to suit different environments? For example, regional versus metro.
6. How can we create environments that are welcoming, inclusive, accessible and safe to reduce barriers to participation for participant and deliverers?
