Notes: Cosmo Sprint Exercise

Instructions for the Target User Exercise for the Cosmo sprint.

What's in your envelop?

• Instructions
• Images of your user
• A brief description of the target users

Purpose of the exercise:

The purpose of the exercise is to create a better understanding of the target users, and how they would interact with the Chandler/Cosmo products when working in a small group collaboration.

Instructions:

Please open your profile folder and look at the selected images of your target user. Select ONE image to be your target user. Answer the questions on the 'question sheet' to help come up with a descriptive profile.

Once you have your target user profile written up the next step is to work with each other in your small group. Role play and become the target user profile you have just described. Work with each other in your small group to kick-off a new project that involves all the other types of people using Chandler/Cosmo.

The Project: May need more input on this, here are some examples of a projects.

• SMASH cast program [Description of the program]
• To consolidate the Cosmo/Scooby landing pages. (I'm trying to find a project that might relate to the Cosmo team)

Think of all the things you might want to do to make the program successful. Here are some more things to think about, but feel free to add your own ideas:

• Who needs to be involved?
• Who owns the agenda?
• What does the agenda need to include?
• Who has input into the agenda?
• Who takes the meeting notes and keeps track of next actions?
• What are all the different resources you’ll need?
• Will the responsibilities be divided up and who will be tasked to do what? How could Chandler/Cosmo help with assigning a task?
• Would you need to task an external person? If so, how would you do it? How would they respond?

Objectives:

• To have fun!!
• To work as a team
• To try and explore real life scenarios and to make your target user come to life.
