Observations

Takeaways From Critical Incidents

  • Due to lack of feedback, users weren't sure exactly when tasks Tasks 1 and 2 were complete
  • There were learnability issues with up and down arrows for collapsed and expanded tabs. Users were confused that pressing an up arrow would expand, not collapse, a group
  • On the timing page, placement of stopwatch controls were too far away from the stopwatch. This caused users to skip the instructions of how to take down times, resulting in them clicking the wrong thing when attempting to time an athlete
  • We had a safety issue with the timing page. User pushed the reset timer button in order to try and save the time for a user. Have an athlete. There was no way of reverting this action besides repeating the workout, which is unreasonable in a real life situation
  • Filter searchbox in Task 4 confused userusers, as they did not know what inputs it would accept or why there was a need for one
  • Users were confused about what to do after entering in the name of a group or athlete; Enter button vs clicking away vs other method
  • There were learnability issues with our titles for the menu bar at the bottom. Users first instinct was to press "Workouts" when trying to take down times for a workout, when but the workout button is for setting up workouts and to take down times the desired tab on the bottom is "Input Performance"

...

  • People liked the 4-item menu bar at the bottom of the app
  • Once people understood the timing mechanic, people liked the concept and implementation

Additional Points of Concern

  • When viewing a graph of past performances, how do we show multiple repetitions in a workout? IE. Joe Bish has 2 repetitions of the 1 mile swim during the workout on March 18th. Do we put 2 data points, 1 average data point, other solutions?
  • What does the performance graph look like with multiple people, multiple workouts?
