GR1: Proposal & Analysis

Problem Statement

Coming soon...

Observations & Interviews

Give a narrative of the three people that you observed and interviewed. Don't use their names. Don't identify the users by name, but do describe who they were. Each narrative should include a particularly interesting moment -- a breakdown or workaround that exhibits a feature of the problem you're aiming to solve.

We interviewed three people, each with a different background in musical groups (a cappella/musical theater), and used their responses to put together a portrait of both our potential users and their needs.

Interview One - The A Cappella Veteran

Background: The interviewee had been involved in an MIT a cappella group for three years.

Interview Two - The "New Guy"

Background: The interviewee is currently involved with a musical theater group, but he has had no prior vocal training.

Interview Three - The Vocal Director

Background: The interviewee is one of the vocal directors for a musical theater group on campus that has an especially high number of amateur performers.  In addition, she is also currently one of the music directors for an MIT a cappella group.

User Classes

Describe the user classes that you have identified, and their major characteristics.

Needs & Goals

Describe the goals that you have identified, with reference to the observations you made.
