GR1 - Task analysis

Objective

...

Based on our background research and interviews, we created personas for two target BucketList users. Both personas belong to the same user group, and interact with BucketList in the same fundamental way.

Meet Jake...

Jake is a junior in college. He lives a fast paced life serving as editor of his school news- paper newspaper in addition to taking six classes and searching for summer internships. He’s an active user of multiple social networking sites and enjoys applications that allow him to compete with friends. BucketList will fulfill Jake’s organizational needs by allowing him to create task lists for group projects and the newspaper staff, then divvy up the work onto individual group members’ task lists. Additionally it will help him keep track of his own tasks by allowing him to categorize them into homework, job search, etc.

   2. Navigate to “Create New Task”
   3. Choose bucket for new task (if the user navigated to the “Create New Task” screen from viewing a particular bucket, that bucket should be the default choice.  However, the user should still have the option to change it.)
   4. Enter task name
   5. Optional: add users to task
      1. Enter usernames of those users
      2. Click “Create”
3. 3) Add or Remove Users from a Task or Bucket

      3. If it’s a task, the users to be added to the task must already be in the tasks’ bucket.  
      4. If we’re trying to remove a person, that person must already have been added at some earlier point.
   2. Select the relevant bucket or task
      1. If you are adding or deleting users from a task, select the task within that bucket.

• Each user will have exactly one Breadcrumbz Each user (by which we mean the physical person of the user) must be associated with exactly one account, which is in turn associated with a single username and password.  Each username is associated with exactly one accountmust be unique.
• Every account is associated with 0+ buckets.  In turn, An account can have multiple buckets, and each of these buckets is bucket can be associated with 1+ multiple accounts.  This is because buckets can be shared between users.  We do not distinguish between a bucket’s creator and the other users who are sharing it, but if a bucket were to be associated with zero accounts at any point, it would cease to exist.
• Every bucket contains a set of 0+ tasks.  Each of these tasks is associated with 0+ accounts, all of which must also be associated with the bucket that contains that task.  (A task is allowed to be “unassigned”---in other words, not associated with any account.)
• Every task is also associated as well with a number of notes.  Each note is associated with exactly one account – that of the user who wrote it.

“I need something to send me random reminders and make me feel good if I’ve done it.”

“I keep around completed tasks (on my task check list) to feel accomplished.”
