I'm here. Now What? Michael Cohen, Brandon Bond,Jenny Sloan, Kun Wang, and Kimberley Dietemann
Problem and Solution Overview Current task tracking apps require a lot of data entry Apps are time based, not location based The solution? Create location based reminders Associate tasks with certain locations Find the most efficient way to complete tasks
Contextual Inquiry #1 Kelsie: Junior Biology Student Prepared both extensive weekly and daily agenda of schoolwork, volunteering, work and other tasks Wrote every assignment and separated by class Used her list to guide her studying at the library
Contextual Inquiry #2 Quentin: UX Designer and artist Trying to buy Radiohead tickets, breakfast, shop at Trader Joes, and make a stop at the drugstore Lack of planning/agenda caused wasted time at Fred Meyer Forgot a list so he didn't know what he needed from the drugstore
Contextual Inquiry #3 Josh: Sophomore Biology Student Observed him make a list of errands which included groceries, DSW shoes and Bank of America There was a bank right next to Safeway, but didn't remember about bank until ride home Could have benefited from location based reminders
Task Analysis Results Students go to great lengths to stay organized currently using paper agendas and simple digital calendars Conventional planners are inadequate and current location reminders require exact addresses By creating sub-lists, students and people runnign errands can stay a great deal more organized
Task Analysis Results Running errands with no preparation is bound to fail If users are willing to spend time ahead using our application is needs to be quick to view tasks If there were a way to efficiently organize stops throughout your day it could be greatly beneficial
Task Analysis Results Josh made a list, but there was no organization to that list. Created that list the day he went to the store rather than keeping a running list as he remembered he needed items By digitizing the list on his smartphone, and having it plan his day, he would have been able to save the third, unnecessary stop
Simple Task Users will view appropriate locations and necessary information to complete tasks they have added to the application.
Moderate Task Users will receive reminders about current uncompleted tasks in the correct, place, time and context
Complex Task Users will plan out optimal routes to complete their tasks in the quickest amount of time.
Sketches - User would add task by taking a picture to represent the task - Users tasks would be shown as a group of pictures with the higher priority tasks appearing larger - Can click on the picture for additional information for the task
Sketches - Another idea how to represent task -Tasks such as homework have sub-lists (assignments) that would branch off from the main task - All parts of the web would need to be completed to consider the main task complete
Sketches - Shows a possible screen of the application creating a optimal route to complete tasks - Would show visual of each task in relative locations that they can be completed - Directions would lead user to all tasks in the best order and locations
Summary - What Now? will replace all existing written and digital planners - Will analyze user's data entered and be used to remind them about uncompleted tasks - Will allow the user to see any information needed to complete the tasks and use those locations to create and optimal route
