    • Indicate concerts that you are interested in attending

      • Goal

        • Collect concerts you're interested in in one place that friends can see.
      • Frequency of Use

        • A few times a month
      • Subtasks

        • See what groups of friends are interested in, so you can enjoy concerts as a group.
        • Find what concerts a specific friend is interested in, or would be likely to be interested in, so you can invite individuals.
      • Notes from interview:

        • A user mentioned that the most important aspect of going to concerts is going to them with friends, and that a “social aspect” would be key to ConcertBOS.
        • One young man stated that he actually enjoyed concerts a great deal, but that each step that went towards going to a concert, ie, keeping track of when bands he liked were in the area, and then finding friends to go with him to these concerts, involved so much tedious searching and planning that he was lucky to make it to one or two concerts a year. He said that even something that would allow him to simply see concerts that other friends were planning on going to would be enough to convince him to go to more concerts, since the burden of finding the concert would be removed.
        • One user stated that it would be very helpful to be able to see what concerts friends or perhaps even girls one liked would be interested in going to, in order to be able to invite them, or be invited.

TA Feedback.

As we discussed, this isn't really a stretch right now, but we talked a lot about how that will improve. Make sure you don't broaden the scope to get there - it's too broad as it stands - but instead think about the differences in interactions you can have in the current scope.

You had a nice division of roles for the user analysis.

You also don't seem to really get a good feel for what the tasks your users use to solve your problems, and instead you describe actions that your app will let users take. Don't forget that the next step is to make three separate designs - you shouldn't already have picked one. Think of task analysis as the analysis of tasks that need to be done to solve the problems.

I'd appreciate it if you made these changes, since we'll be working off this document for the whole rest of the project.
