Problem StatementThe problem at hand is that people are not socializing to their ideal extent.

High Level SolutionOur mission is to create a tool which helps people increase their amount of social activity by• Helping people find and create new events

with minimal effort• Increasing the likeliness that they will

participate in social activities they enjoy

Task 1Find an Activity

Level: Simple

Scenario: • Performed in the event where the

customer wants to find an event to attend in their free time

Reasoning : • Socializing is impeded when people face

the challenge of finding an event which• Is enjoyable• They are able to attend• Their friends are available to attend

• Social Rocket makes the task of finding an event a simply four-step process which can all be performed from your smartphone

Task 2Create an Event

Level: Complex

Scenario: • Performed in the event where the customer

wants to create an event to host

Reasoning : • Hosting events is currently a hassle because

currently, the invitation requires extensive coordination of details such as• Time• Place• Activity• People

• Social Rocket takes a significant amount of the work out of planning events by putting all the information they want to know during the planning process in one place

Task 3Rate and Review a Past Event

Level: Moderate

Scenario: • Performed in the event where the customer

wants to provide feedback to Social Rocket on how well they enjoyed an event attended or hosted with its help

Reasoning : • Currently, when you rate an event, venue, or

restaurant, (ie. Yelp) that information is usually used again only when another person seeks it out before attending the same event

• Social Rocket takes the information you input about a past event to become better at finding events you will enjoy in the future

Summary• Creating a medium-fidelity helped to – implement suggested changes from lo-fi prototyping– paint a more accurate picture of what the actual

app will look like

• Moving forward:– Test medium-fidelity prototype– Create a hi-fidelity prototype
