Sara and her housemates often listen to music together in their living room on Friday nights. Sara is the only one with a Spotify Premium account so she controls the music queue. This causes issues when her housemates request songs be added, as Sara has to manually add them each time on her laptop. The document proposes that Sara and her housemates would benefit from an online collaborative music platform that allows everyone in the room to queue up their own songs.

2. SARA & JOHN
Sara and John are seniors at the University of
Michigan.They live with four other friends in a
house located in Kerrytown.The housemates
often like to chill together on Friday nights at
home with one another.They usually sit in the
living room, order some late night snacks, talk, and
maybe play some games.They like to have music
playing in the background when they chill because
it creates a more relaxed and fun atmosphere for
them to de-stress after a long week.

3. SARA THE “HOUSE DJ”
• Sara is an avid music listener among her
housemates, so she set up a speaker in the
living room. She is also the only one with a
Spotify Premium account.
• Problem/Motivation:
– Sara gets annoyed when her housemates
always ask her to queue up songs, but she
knows it’s not their fault 😥
– Sara wishes her housemates had a way to
add songs themselves

4. JOHN THE HOUSEMATE
• Throughout the week, John often finds music
he thinks his housemates will also enjoy. He
wants to share these new songs when they
hang out on Friday nights.
• Problem/Motivation:
– John feels bad constantly asking Sara to add
these songs to the queue. He thinks it’s
inefficient and feels bad bothering her.
– John wishes he could add these songs himself.

5. HOW ARE
THEY
SURVIVING?
Whenever John requests songs to be
added to the queue, Sara has to…
1. Open Spotify on her laptop
2. Search up song
3. Add it to queue
4. Repeat

10. HYPOTHESIS
WOULD PEOPLE WANT TO
ADD SONGS THEMSELVES
TO THE QUEUE?
IS IT WORTH THE EFFORT
OVER JUST USING SPOTIFY
THE WAY IT IS?
