User interview
Needs research is key
A comprehensive app design is crucial to address the challenges faced by UC Davis' traffic service department, including limited conference room availability and scheduling conflicts. The COVID-19 pandemic has amplified the need for remote or hybrid meetings, exacerbating these issues. To inform the app's design enhancements, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 23 employees, capturing key insights and data. The graph above visually represents the survey findings, emphasizing the importance of resolving conference room management challenges within the department.

User story:
I seek a flexible working approach for my employees amidst the changes caused by COVID-19. Hybrid meetings have become the norm, but conflicts arise due to limited office space. The current schedule system is chaotic, resulting in missed meeting times for field employees. Furthermore, due to limited office facilities, volunteers lack individual desks. I desire an app that can effectively manage schedules and provide information on office facility availability, ensuring efficient utilization of resources. Implementing such an app would improve coordination, productivity, and overall effectiveness in our dynamic work environment.
Goals:
