Problem Statement
How might we help a female employee to spread out her consistent trivial effort to her team during the project process.
My Tasks
Research ,Interviews, Brainstorming, Ideation, Paper Prototyping, Testing, High fi Wireframing.
Process
We followed human centered interaction process for this project. We did several interviews to understand the human needs.
Primary Research
To start with the topic of women rights we started with identifying and understanding different aspects about equality, in society, in administration , in workplaces. We started we general research about discrimination and glass ceiling.
We started interviewing people from Forsyth park with different genders and varying ages to know different perspectives about women in the workplace. We talked with six people and collected different experiences and stories of them experiencing or noticing women discrimination.
Secondary Research
After the first round of interview and analysis we decided on the direction and we decided to dive deep into their stories and further did quantitative analysis by interviewing them through zoom calls and talked with 8 people. We prepared questionnaire before the interviews and followed them.
We collected 230 insights from 16 people of both first round of interviews and second round of interviews. We later worked on identifying patterns and grouping them.
We divided key insights based on the causes of women discrimination. At this we were try to figure out the root cause.
Ideation
Paper Prototyping
Mock Up
What I learnt ??
This project followed human centred design to understand human needs.This is my ten-week project, and I now have a solid understanding of the research and history of HCI design. Maslow's hierarchy of needs was followed. We conducted interviews with women to better understand their problems and to gain insight into different regions. I learned how to conduct interviews based on their responses and how to ask questions to better understand them. Paper prototypes taught me about user testing, which was extremely useful for developing the website.
Next Steps
I want to test the website again after the prototype and refine it to improve my design. I want to do a better job of detailing progress throughout the project so that the team can refer to it at any time.I would like to implement HCI in my projects to understand human needs.
