Tag: User Scenario

This week in the tutorial we created two user scenarios for our projects.

Example User 1 – (Karen Anderson, 31, F)

Karen has just moved from Melbourne to Sydney. It is a 34° day and Karen is planning a picnic at a beach nearby with some friends, who are also from Melbourne. As Karen and her friends are unaware about the best beaches and waterways to go to, she downloads the Sydney Beaches and Waterways app.

• Karen checks the map and sees that she is equally far from Coogee Beach, Clovelly Beach and Bronte Beach, she decides on Bronte. [User Experience]
• Karen taps on Bronte beach to find out more. Karen becomes aware that Bronte beach is an alcohol-free zone, so they do not bring wine on their picnic. [Pollution Control]
• Karen is able to view the transport options to Bronte beach; she decides she will catch the bus, as driving will take a similar amount of time. [Pollution Control]
• Karen has the option to check the weather for today. [User Experience]
• If there is an event(s) scheduled, they will also appear on the app. [User Experience]
• Public facilities such as wheelchair accessible toilets will also appear in app [User Experience]
• Locations and phone numbers of emergency services including life savers and police will be noted [User Experience]
• Small tips such as bin locations, refillable water stations will be given to attempt to further reduce rubbish. [Pollution Control]

Example User 2 – (Steve Loneridge, 56, M)

Steve is a newly retired man who has taken up sailing as a hobby. Steve plans on setting off from one of our local wharfs for a day of sailing and fishing. Steve checks the Sydney Beaches and Waterways app and begins trying to find the closest wharf to him where he can set off with his boat.

• Steve is shown the closest wharf and offered directions. [User Experience]
• He is advised that there is no fishing in this location. [Pollution Control]
• Steve can check the weather and tides for the day from the app to make sure the conditions are fine. [User Experience]
• If he desires, Steve can find locations where he can legally fish, he can also view what fish are and aren’t legally catchable. [User Experience & Pollution Control]
• Emergency services will be noted such as water police and sea rescue groups [User Experience]
