Process

In week 7 and 8 we were told to come up with questions for our surveys and interveiws so I proceeded to come up with the questions for the survey and interview.

Interview questions 

interview questions

During Week 10, I distributed the survey to people for responses. It was not that challenging to collect responses, it took me 5 days to gather 61 responses 

In Week 11 , I  interviewed people and recording their responses. I did a total of 3 interviews and was able to collect relevant feedback. 

n Week 11, I also conducted card sorting exercises through optimal workshop. I had a total of 21 cards and 7 pre-defined categories. I collected a total of 12 responses. I began to compile my documents on a slide deck. 

Card Sorting Standardization Grid

In Week 10, we finally had an in-person class and I could get feedback for my survey and interview analysis. Mr. Zeon recommended picking the top 8-10 questions, and for each question include a graph and data analysis. 

I then began creating my user personas based on the interview and survey results. After which I was able to create my User Journey Map.

REFLECTION

Experience

I found this task to be very challenging and time consuming it requires alot of research and connecting with people. I got frustrated by the amount time each part if the assignment took. I enjoyed doing the card sorting though. 

Observation 

I observed the importance of good time management and not leaving things for the last minute as it becomes overwhelming trying to complete things in last minute. I also observed that following the time Mr Zeon had allocated for each phase would have made this task more bearable for me and in future I will follow it.

Findings

I found that in order for people to fill out surveys and card sorting and all sorts the best way is to reach out individually and not send surveys on groups.
