Qualitative Analysis

To understand our user’s profiles we conducted user interviews of individuals from diverse professions and varying needs in order to identify the pain points and scope of improvement in existing apps. The user group included homemakers, Software engineers, business owners, and students.

Some of the questions asked are listed below. In addition to this, some open-ended questions were asked as well.

  1. What do you do during your work day?

  2. How many people do you talk to? 

  3. How much time do you spend in meetings vs. working alone?

  4. How do you plan your day? Do you use any apps? 

  5. When/How do you know your work day is over?

  6. Do you get distracted by calls/notifications on your  phone? How do you manage distractions?

  7. How do you stay motivated to work?

  8. What distracts you during work?

Takeaways

Developing this project independently, enabled me to work outside the framework of grades and submission dates which allowed me to look beyond the technical side of an idea and focus on the user experience aspect of it to embrace an empathetic approach. I learned the importance of making designs flexible for different types of users.
