The Butterfly's Contribution

Hello!

For this week I created a sequence model for user 6, helped create the affinity diagram, and helped consolidate a flow model.

The sequence model was pretty simple to make because I and another member interviewed user 6. During the interview, I tooks notes of most of the actions of the user. My notes were a written "history" of which sites the user visited as well as comments and side notes that I thought was important.

In making the affinity diagram, I reviewed one of the user's file and recorded notable problems and frustrations on a post-it. When everyone finished making post its, we began organizing similar post-its across all users together. This helped us identify major areas of website design as well as many problems users suffer from.

With the completion of the affinity diagram, our group began consolidation. I worked with Zach to consolidate a flow model. We focused on the transfer of information between users, with a website acting as a "middle man"

This upcoming week, I plan on making a major contribution for the presentation. It will give me a chance to work on my public speaking skills.
