Target Audience

Who is your target audience? Be specific.

  • Busy young professionals
  • Mid 20’s
  • College students

What feedback have you gotten from potential users? They want tasks they can complete remotely and tasks that aren’t too specific. They had a preference for writing tasks such as texting or sharing messages from their phone.

Have you validated the problem and your solution with your target audience? How? Some validation has occurred through sending out surveys. Also some user testing has occurred through showing our user group a prototype for onboarding, adding contacts, and adding service ideas. So far, the users have successfully completed the tasks and further testing will occur.

Research

Research thoroughly before writing a single line of code. Solidify the features of your app conceptually before implementation. Spend the weekend researching so you can hit the ground running on Monday.

This is the “bread and butter” of the app, this is what makes your app yours. Calculate how long it takes to implement these features and triple the time estimated. That way you’ll have plenty of time to finish. It is preferred to drop features and spend more time working on your MVP features if needed.
