Prototype & Test Assignment – Stanford 2013

STAKEHOLDER: TATYANA

Prototype & Test Assignment – Stanford 2013

Tatyana is a 25 year old student from Russia. She has come to Canada to study English. She has just completed her studies, and is now looking for a job in Canada in-line with her past experience as an Administrative Assistant in a Bank.

STAKEHOLDER’S FRIEND: YULIA

Prototype & Test Assignment – Stanford 2013

Yulia is a 26 year old student from Russia. She is Tatyana’s classmate. She has also come to Canada to study English. She has just completed her studies. She would like to put the English language skills she has gained to get a good job in Accounting in Canada.

PROBLEM STATEMENT: TATYANA

Prototype & Test Assignment – Stanford 2013

“Tatyana needs a way to improve her English, find a good job and make new friends in Canada because she appears too much worried about her next steps”.

SELECTED IDEA 1

Prototype & Test Assignment – Stanford 2013

“Tatyana needs to travel to USA and/or Mexico to see what the job market is there and also to see if she would prefer to work there rather than in Canada”. This is because this would give her a wider perspective of the other countries in North America – different cities, how they breathe, the culture, business practises. This would also contribute to her personality in the long-run and enrich her life experience.

What could be improved Nothing really!

? Questions

Who will pay for my ticket to USA and Mexico?How many months do I spend there?

! Ideas

Maybe in your prototype, you can have some space for the viewer to write their thoughts.

SELECTED IDEA 2

Prototype & Test Assignment – Stanford 2013

“Tatyana needs to meet more people and extend her friend network”. This is because having a good set of friends, can help Tatyana practise her English, exchange notes on how to improve herself, make her a happier person, and probably also, she could get lucky if a friend recommends her for a job they come to know of!

PROTOTYPE 2
