- 1. DECISIONS, DECISIONS By Else Gerber and Rohan Rajvanshi Team: Choice Makers
- 2. Who? Anybody who has a difficult time making decisions What? Not being able to choose between two choices When? Any time that it’s needed Where? Wherever there are people that need help choosing between something Why? Because lots of people have trouble making decisions. For example, I (Else) was having a really hard time deciding between summer camps to attend, and it had gone on so long that I couldn’t wait any longer to decide. This app would definitely have helped me make my decision faster and save a lot of time spent stressing out. Who/What/Where/When/Why?
- 3. People have a hard time choosing what decision to make, be it which summer camp to go to or what job to take, and then have more stress on what to choose, on top of just the stress from having to make a decision. What’s our problem?
- 4. How can we make it easier for people to make choices so they don’t have to stress out? Core question
- 5. Sometimes having something to help make a choice and walk through the process with you can aid in making a difficult decision. How is/can our app help?
- 6. Elevator Pitch Our team, The Choice Makers, is developing an app to help any person who has problems making decisions that will walk them through the processes.
- 7. This app is mainly for people who have a difficult time making decisions. It works best for people who are a little stressed out, and can get flustered when they’re trying to make a decision. People can choose to either use it as a suggestion, or take it more seriously. It also works well for people who need to make a decision but don’t have much time. Who’s the app for?
- 8. Our app starts on a welcome screen. Then, when you click “start”, it takes you to the screen that you input your choices to. We noticed that some people were getting confused, so we added a button that you could click to go to an example page. Then, there are two pro/con screens, where you input the good and the bad things about each choice, and rate how good/bad they are. Finally, there’s a “next” button that tells you what choice to make! There’s also a screen that has tips on it for making your own informed decision. App flow
- 9. Start screen
- 10. This is where you enter the things you are deciding between And here is where you put pros and cons for each, and then rate them on a scale of 1-3, three being most important.
- 11. End screen, where it displays the optimal choice to make.
- 12. Our app is pretty straightforward, and there aren’t too many problems. It is functional, and produces an answer. There is no data required for our app (you just start over each time). Many people have said that this could help them, so we are hoping that it would be pretty easy to produce. App Summary
- 13. What else? We had people at our school, and our families, test our app. Many said that it was something that they would use, and we also noticed that some people go through this same process to make decisions but having an app would make it easier because it’s more structured. There aren’t very many decision making apps out there. This app can help people because it is a structured way of going through the good and bad of each choice and then can help make a knowledgeable decision.
Editor's Notes
- A title slide describing the name of the app, the team name and the names of team members and possibly a logo, if you have one
- What is the background situation you are addressing? Describe the context users are experiencing. Example: Buzzer Buddiez: Who? Students What? Students are studying for exams When? 7am Where? Student dorm Why? Late night cramming, student likely to oversleep
- What specific problem do people encounter in that situation? Use the results from your user research Examples: Buzzer Buddiez: your alarm does not work and you are thus late for: school, work, exams, doctor etc Transit: Many parents don’t speak English and their children have to translate the feedback that a teacher provides. When the feedback is negative students mistranslate.
- What core question are you addressing with the app? Examples: Buzzer Buddiez: how can you avoid oversleeping? Transit: how can negative teacher feedback be translated accurately?
- Use your key insights statements from your findings during User Research to provide evidence that your app is solving a genuine problem in a different way for users. Examples: Buzzer Buddiez: you wake up to hit snooze/ switch off the alarm, but don’t get up. Friends and family i.e. social pressure can help to push you to actually get out of bed. Transit: parent- teacher conferences are not open-ended conversations. You can map the key areas of negative feedback around attendance, behavior, results etc. to bridge the conversation between parents and teachers.
- To introduce the judges to your team and the product, include your final one minute elevator pitch here. Example: - Buzzer Buddiez: Our team, [Buzzer Buddiez], is developing [a mobile app] to help [students] [who have studied late and are likely to oversleep because they hit snooze on their alarm clock] [to wake up on time with the help from friends and family]
- Summarize what you have learned about your users. Remember, these profiles must be based on real users you interviewed.
- Show here what your App will look like in terms of flow and if/ how you have already integrated any user feedback from your interviews. How will your app move from screen to screen in a way that works for your user?
- Show here what your app will look like in terms of the key wireframes of your app’s core feature.
- Show here what your app will look like in terms of the key wireframes of your app’s core feature.
- Show here what your app will look like in terms of the key wireframes of your app’s core feature.
- Summarize what you have learned about data, content and technical feasibility. If your product relies heavily on data, where will you get it? Share with us any information that shows that your app can be successfully produced.
- This slide is your chance to add more information about your creative journey and your team. Did you create a website? Show your work to experts or the media? Present at your school or at another contest? You can also share any information about what other apps like yours are out there and how yours is different.
