So what kind of problems are we looking for exactly?
Problem Statement
A concise description of the problem to be addressed
THE ‘VEX’ FACTOR
Familiar Frequent Specific
Irritant Expensive Moves
Familiar
Who never wakes up late?
Frequent
When was the last time it
happened to you?
Specific
The story is easy to tell in a few
clear points
Example: Ignoring Snooze Button
Irritant
“So near… but so far”
Expensive
Missing key appointments
Unpredictable
Never know for sure when it’ll
happen
Individually, describe a problem that fits the criteria below (vex factors)
Familiar Frequent Specific Irritant Expensive Unpredictable
Pass your description to the team member on your right; try to improve on the description you’ve received, OR describe a new problem below it.
Framing Problems
Who?
What?
When?
Where?
Why?
Who? What? Where? When? Why?
Pick 3 problems that resonate most with the team; briefly describe
the ‘5 ws’ for each
Discuss the problems your team identified and take a
vote on two problems to explore
(one is a back-up)Familiar Frequent Specific Irritant Expensive Unpredictable
What are the specific steps
someone experiencing each
problem goes through? Tell us the
story...
Situation Complication Question Answer
The background
to the specific issue
Explains what the
specific issue is
A specific inquiry into
how the complication
can be addressed, given the situation
A possible answer to
the question
SCQA Mapping
Situation Complication Question Answer
There are 100 million 12-18 year olds in the developed world A recent poll from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) found that 61% of employers had encountered problems with young people’s discipline and punctuality.
Everyday young people frequently oversleep despite setting alarm clocks. Ignoring the snooze button leads to oversleeping, and costly opportunities are lost such as sitting exams, maintaining a good punctuality record at school, missing out on job interviews and key opportunities in the morning
How can we help students to wake up on time and get out of bed promptly?
A gamified commuting experience where the user is rewarded for punctual arrival at various checkpoints mapped with Google pins.
Create your team’s SCQA problem framing
Draft a concise description of the exact problem.

Research Design: Prospective Questions
How old are you?
How often do you get out of bed late?
How often do you wake up late?
What responsibilities do you have in the mornings?
Do you use the snooze button? How many times in succession?
Have you ever had a wake up call (by telephone)?
What is the biggest opportunity you’ve missed through lateness?
Using the web
Write a list of the people you would
speak to, and sources you would explore to research

Central QuestionsWhat are the possible solutions?
How do we create value for the users?
Personas
Source: Uxforthemasses.com
Example persona
Create a persona representing the
likely users of your solution
“Describes how an organization
captures, creates and
delivers value”
Business Model
Put together the business model canvas for the Buzzer Buddies
app
Discuss and complete a business model
canvas that shows how your app could be
structured to create & deliver value

happen
Scenario Maps...
From the diary page the user can input daily feelings and notes that they can look back on. They can also rate each day out of 10.
The user will select the app form the screen.
Here the user can select a page from 3 options. These are: Diary, Goals, and Tips.
From the Goals page users can input a goal and when this is achieved it can be turned into some visual prompt – graph. Also they can view finished goals
From the Tips page the user can receive a tip daily.
Will our product name be memorable enough for people to find the app and download it?
This will then be turned into a line graph that would give you tips on how to improve if you get a low score
Within each of these pages there may be other pages. For example on the goals page we will have an achievement log with achieved goal and on-going goals
This will most likely be a picture of our logo.
It would make you enter something you have done to make you feel proud.
We can have another aspect of this page that makes people want to come back.
When you have reached a certain amount you could get a reward of some sort
These could be picture buttons or buttons with text
It could play a clip of a song every time you enter something.
If you get a high score it will congratulate you.
Maybe we could work with companies to get discounts or special offers for users.
