Project Brainstorm
What are you building?
Brainstorm and define the app that you would like to focus on designing in this course. This app should solve a specific need or problem that a group of people faces or make a task easier for this group of people.
1. What customer segment are you interested in creating a product for?
Company/Business
2. List at least 3 tasks that are associated with your identified customer segment.
a. Device Management/tracking, i.e. loan laptops, mobile phones.
b. Inventory.
c. Help Desk – record calls/issues/assign task/document/notification/close cases.
d. Office Check-in during Covid-19, track requests to go into office/thresholds/pre-authorization questions/approve or wait-list and so forth.
e. New Employee in-take.
3. List at least 3 pains or gains that relate to your customer completing their normal tasks.
a. Many company departments utilize Word or Excel spreadsheets to track where each device the company owns is. This process is painful.
b. Manually typing large amounts of information is painful.
c. Automating these processing can be a gain of time savings, accuracy, and moral.
4. List three possible solutions to address the pains and gains from above:
a. Automate device tracking with an app that stores who the device was loaned to, the date, the device description and serial number and date expected returned.
b. Create app to track requests for help. The app should record name of person with issue, email address, extension, description of issue, who it is assigned to, solution and completed date.
c. Create app to record all pertinent information regarding a new employee.
