Individual Evaluation (Monday clinic application)

Individual Evaluation (Monday clinic application)



The application was designed to assist the mothers who are expecting to manage their meal planners and exercise routines. The application was required to design to make it easier to use by the mothers. The main focus of the design was to manage the daily activities of a mother by using a smart phone.


The basic requirements for the application were initially documented and then they were categorized into functional, non functional and business requirements. Then the story board was created by team to present a demonstration of the real world scenarios. Paper sketching of the storyboard helped the team to understand the requirements of the application more clearly. Then the mobile interface design was modeled on balsamic to get the wire maps and next the wire maps were modified by applying mobile interface design patterns to the basic interface design. Later the team was able to come up with the final design to the mobile interfaces to be used on the application prototype which is called, annotated storyboards. Finally the design was embedded to the interactive prototype which was hard-coded to demonstrate the functionality of the real world mobile application.

Above process involved lot of team engagement which made the whole task a success by adding up different ideas and creativity together.  Collective knowledge eliminated many duplication and unfits that would have occurred if the task was done by a single individual. Also the collective effort made the task more progressive and faster by sharing skills and knowledge. As an example the team came to a decision that the interface color has to be comfortable to user sight and navigation has to be easier when regarding the target user category which made the prototype a success by meeting initial requirements. Also the identification of each individual’s skills and capacity helped manage and complete task within the given timescale. Also the collaboration of the team hugely supported the success of the task.

Team would like to propose the interactive prototype to be developed as a completed real world mobile application to utilize user requirements further. Also the application can be developed to both android and IOS platforms using appropriate development IDE’s.
