Assignment: Develop an ID plan
In this assignment, you will develop and ID plan by following the steps outlined below:
[10 points] Identify the all the primary and secondary user groups of the electric smart meter. Also identify at least three tertiary user groups (i.e., stakeholders) of the electric smart meter.
[10 points] Define the key product-related goal or task for each of the user groups you identified, (i.e., 1 goal per user group)
[20 points] Write a user profile for a primary user group that identifies the key relevant characteristics that might influence your product’s design
• See the last page in this document for a sample/template to use as a starting point. Feel free to expand or add as needed.
• If you have more than one primary user group, just pick one.
4. [10 points] Define the expected use environment for each primary and secondary user. Make sure to note any unique
aspects of the use environment that could be an important consideration of your design.
5. [15 points] Detail how you will gather needs and develop requirements (i.e., how will you conduct user research?)
Include details such as: the techniques (e.g., interviews, field research) you will use for each primary and secondary user group and how many users you will talk to/observe.
In a nutshell, explain to me how you will become expert enough to effectively write the requirements.
[10 points] Define how many design, prototyping, and evaluation (usability test) cycles you anticipate. Provide
[25 points] Define the 1-3 high-level usability goals, per each primary and secondary user group, that you will use to evaluate your design
Remember, your usability goal needs to contain the following aspects: Effectiveness, Efficiency, Safety, Utility.
Example from this week’s lecture: “100% of all primary users able to input their current biomarkers accurately into the app to calculate their meal plan within 2 minutes.” rationale to explain your thinking.
