USER FLOWS & SCENARIOS
SCENARIOS Method • Brainstorming goals and pain points for each Persona
• John -‐‑ Returning customer • Sarah -‐‑ New customer • Jess -‐‑ Corporate customer (school administrator)
Findings • The team prioritised the experience flow and must-‐‑have content for each of the three
Personas Opportunities identified • New customer – provide an all-‐‑in-‐‑one “Essentials” product bundle for each school, so its
easy for Sarah to know exactly what she needs to buy • Returning customer – provide an Express Checkout and clear price comparison so it’s a
quick, efficient experience for John to buy just a few items. • Business customer – provide a customer Account set-‐‑up process for schools to create
product bundles so it’s easy for Jess to provide parents with a one-‐‑stop-‐‑shop for all their uniform needs

THE SOLUTION
Design a household calendar app that enables Deepa and Sam to co-‐‑ordinate tasks easily.
QUICK CLICKABLE PROTOTYPE
PROTOTYPE V.1 Method • I created a quick clickable prototype using Omnigraffle User Journey 1 John, as a returning customer, can find a single item and check-‐‑out quickly. Scenarios • Finding an individual item • Express Checkout User Journey 2 Sarah, as a first-‐‑time customer, can find a selection of items required by her child’s school and check-‐‑out easily on her iPad. Scenarios • Finding a school “Essentials” uniform product listing • New Customer Checkout
DESIGN PROTOTYPE
PROTOTYPE V2 The second iteration of the product focused on interaction design optimised for mobile web through the “express checkout” user journey of John, our returning customer:
Home screenExpress checkoutProduct listing Adds to cart
Signs up for newsletter
Signs In

ionProceeds to checkout
USABILITY TESTING
USABILITY TESTING Test process We found 5 participants willing to test our prototype. We gave them all three tasks to perform on our prototype User testing tasks 1. You are buying a polo shirt for your daughter. Show me how you would go about it 2. You are a new customer. Take me through your checkout process 3. You are a returning customer. Take me through your checkout process
FINDINGS • 4 out of 5 participants used the main menu on the Home page to
go to the Product page, rather than the large search field. • 2 out of 5 preferred Guest Checkout even though they were
returning customers
• Change “Sign-‐‑up” to “New Customer” to avoid confusion with “Sign-‐‑In”
• Add Back bujon on the cart • Checkout could be even quicker for returning customers:
• Sign-‐‑In ! Shipping/Billing (auto-‐‑filled) ! Review Order Or • Sign-‐‑In ! Review Order (with Shipping/billing auto-‐‑filled) Then offer • option to Save Details and join as a Member
