Assignment: Choose concept to move forward with based on user feedback.

Moving forward with Prototype H: Post Its

I tested my initial prototypes with several potential end users who all responded positively to the concept of a family dashboard. The testing consisted of general feedback after being exposed to each prototype to determine each person’s preferred alternative. In general the more high tech prototypes generated a high degree of interest but the belief was that there could be a steep learning curve to prototypes A (Community Calendar) and E (Omniscient Clock). It was also felt that there could be a high cost factor associated with these options that could make the concepts financially prohibitive to many families. Concept H (Post Its) on the other hand was viewed as being very easy to understand even for the youngest members of a family. This concept was also seen as the most customizable, most “fun”, and the most cost effective.
