What’s been accomplished
User Research
- I conducted two interviews with potential users of Omni. I presented the concept of Omni and then asked questions about their music listening habits and tools.
- From this research, I began to help my team create User Personas, as we start honing in on our target audience/users.
API Work
- Looked through the API list on the WordPress site from last week. Only 7-8 of the links looked useful and were related to Music Metadata. As of right now, it seems like MusicBrainz and AllMusic are our best bet.
- Started a spreadsheet, will add more on to it in the following weeks (https://drexel0.sharepoint.com/:x:/r/sites/Omni-IDM371/Shared%20Documents/General/Music%20APIs.xlsx?d=w7015e451660c45e3a4f3a0d9c3af55e1&csf=1&web=1&e=wusfCr)
What’s next
- Complete an additional 1-2 interviews.
- Refine user profiles according to new user interviews and feedback.
- Start the User Journey Map.
- Analyze APIs and make Pros and Cons list.
Obstacles
- Still feel like we need to focus in on one specific target audience/user type.
- Scope creep. We have been getting a lot of cool potential feature ideas from our user interviews, just need to make sure that those don’t bleed into our workflow and distract us from key functionality.
