To-do Productivity App

INTERACTIVE SYSTEM

10882603 | DCIT 302 | HCI


Problem Definition
Problem
We’re so much stuck in our busy schedule that we get so many things
slipped out of our mind that we plan to do. And whenever we get them back
in our mind then we either reschedule it or get tasks delayed/never done. It is
impossible to keep track of so many things, remember them and get them
done as per schedule.
The aim of this project is to create an interactive system, a To-Do and
Productivity Mobile App, which addresses the challenges of managing tasks,
improving productivity, and organizing daily activities effectively for busy
individuals. The app will provide a user-friendly interface to help users stay
organized, prioritize tasks, set reminders, and track progress.

Goals
My goal was to design a product that would help the user to keep track of his
daily work. A platform where he could keep his tasks organized and
prioritize them as per his requirements.

User Persona
While I was trying to empathize with my target audience and did my
research on user persona I classified it into four groups. It helped me to get
to the root cause of the problem and a better solution as the output.
User Groups
In my target audience, I’ve considered some user groups like students who
forgot to do their assignments and submit them on time. Professional people
who forget about their lined up meetings and tasks.
Behavior
1. People forget tasks due to their busy schedule.
2. They like to keep things organized and plan everything beforehand.
3. People have the habit to jot down everything to remember it.
User Goals
I did some user interviews to get insights about users and those
conversations helped me understand their goals. What they’re expecting
from a product? And how it’ll help them to solve their problem.

PAGE 1
1. People like to prioritize their tasks based on their need.
2. They like to repeat certain tasks daily at a particular time.
3. They want to sort tasks by date and time. So, they can see tasks saved
for the future.
4. One of the users came up with a different goal, where he said he
wants to check the weather in case he had the plan to go outside but
the weather is not good.
Constraints
I couldn’t find enough constraints, but the one was too many attributes as
per user requirements. Every user had a different goal as per their need.
Solution Space
These user interviews helped me come up with a solution space, some
attributes that I hadn’t thought of while designing the product. So here are
the basic requirements of the user that he needs while planning tasks and
keeping them organized.

User Research Findings


During the user research phase, we conducted interviews and surveys with
potential users to understand their needs and pain points. Key findings from
the research include:
1. Overwhelming Tasks: Users often struggle to manage numerous tasks
across personal and professional domains, leading to stress and
reduced productivity.
2. Prioritization Challenges: Users find it challenging to prioritize tasks
effectively, leading to a lack of focus on critical activities.
3. Lack of Reminders: Many users forget important tasks or deadlines
due to a lack of reminders and notifications.
4. Motivation and Progress Tracking: Users expressed a desire for
features that track their progress, celebrate accomplishments, and
provide motivation to complete tasks.

Phase 2: Concept Development and Interface Design (Weeks 3-4)

PAGE 2
Concept Development
Based on the user research findings, the concept for the To-Do and
Productivity Mobile App was developed. The app will focus on simplicity,
ease of use, and seamless task management. It will include features such as
task lists, priority settings, reminders, progress tracking, and a rewards
system for completed tasks.
Design Sketches
Wireframes and sketches were created to outline the app's layout,
navigation, and key features. The design focuses on a clean and minimalistic
interface to reduce cognitive load and enhance user experience.
High-Fidelity Prototype Designs: Using the wireframes as a foundation,
high-fidelity prototype designs were developed. Visual elements, colors, and
typography were carefully selected to create a visually appealing and user-
friendly interface.

Phase 3: Prototype Development (Weeks 5-6)

Development Platform
The To-Do and Productivity Mobile App will be developed using React
Native, a popular framework for cross-platform mobile app development.
This choice allows us to create a seamless experience for both iOS and
Android users.
Working Prototype
The design was translated into a fully functional prototype. Users can create
tasks, set priorities, schedule reminders, and track their progress using the
app. The app's navigation is intuitive, and interactions are smooth to enhance
user engagement.

Phase 4: Usability Testing (Weeks 7-8)

Usability Testing Methods

PAGE 3
Usability tests were conducted using both heuristic evaluations and user
testing sessions. Participants were asked to complete tasks using the app,
while their interactions were observed and feedback was recorded.
Usability Testing Results
The usability tests revealed positive feedback from users regarding the app's
intuitive navigation, clear task management, and helpful reminders.
However, some users suggested adding customization options for task
categories and rewards to further enhance the user experience.

Phase 5: Refinement and Final Presentation (Weeks 9-10)

Refinement
Based on the usability testing results and user feedback, refinements were
made to the app. Customization options for task categories and rewards were
implemented to cater to individual preferences.

Conclusion
The To-Do and Productivity Mobile App offers a user-centered solution for
effective task management and productivity improvement. By addressing
user needs and pain points, the app promotes trust and satisfaction,
providing users with a seamless and rewarding experience in organizing
their daily activities.
