Research Plan
Title: Task management
Topic Area: User methods on task management
Frame Your Problem
Stakeholders - IIT managing staff and/or faculty
Objectives
• Identify how (and why) people organize the way they do.
• Identify what people want from a task management app.
• Identify user reactions to timetraxx's idea and features.
Research Questions
• What does a person (dis)like about their current task management style?
• What parts of task management are easy/difficult?
• If they have not searched for a task mgmt solution online, why not?
• How much benefit would timetraxx give if they could use it?
• What would be the ideal task management service/app?
Research Methods:
• Interview participants with the above questions
• If a participant is willing, have participant self-document his/her "tasking" to primarily find out inefficiencies/difficulties in the process
See my note to your previous blog post. Normally at this early stage, you would not show a solution. Best is to learn as much as possible before proposing something. In this case, since Timetraxx is pretty simple, I'm OK with it. However, leave it to the very end, and if you don't get to it, don't worry.
