User Analysis
Our target audience is smart-phone users, both tech-savvy and non-tech-savvy, who want a simple and easy-to-use task-management system.
We've created two personas to help demonstrate the type of people who will use Breadcrumbz.
Meet Jake...
Jake is a Junior in college, studying mechanical engineering. He lives a fast paced life serving as editor of his school newspaper in addition to taking six classes and searching for summer internships. He’s an active user of multiple social networking sites and is very tech-savy. He travels a lot, between visiting friends at other colleges, going to job interviews, and visiting home.
Breadcrumbz will fulfill Jake’s organizational needs by allowing him to create task lists on-the-go, to help manage his crazy schedule. It will help him keep track of his tasks by categorizing them into homework, job search, etc, and he will have access to this calendar wherever he is.
Meet Beth...
Beth is a partner in a major law firm and a mother of two. She also lives a fast paced life, currently managing eight clients and an active member of the PTA. Beth is not super tech savvy and, while she uses a smart phone, only uses mobile applications if they’re quick and easy. She hates learning how to use new technology, but if it is simple enough she will learn to love it.
Breadcrumbz will cater to Beth’s desire for a simple UI. It will be easy to learn and even easier to use, making sure Beth is never frustrated with the application.
