Shallow Parts

The following parts of our prototype are shallow:

  • Only active part of top navigation bar is calendar (schedule, contacts, settings, etc. are disabled)
  • Children are part of pre-defined database
  • When creating a new event, canned dates are used, however all other fields are used.
Heuristic Evaluations.
  • No labels

    My heuristic evaluation.

    Wiki presentation: - More information would have been better

    Fidelity: - Implementation covers severa tasks outlined in the scenario. Good.
    '- However, one missing bit is how a user reaches out to other parents/lreatives to help get all three children to their separate events. This is rather important as it forms the most challenging portion of the project. Currently, this prototype is missing this key feature.
    '- As a breadth implementation, it would have been good to at least have the contacts working to some extent. Currently, having only the calendar view feels like it doesn't convey the look and feel of the final application well.
    '- Clicking/selecting/unselecting the names at the top doesn't seem to do anything.
    '- Deleting doesn't work
    '- The genera color scehem and layout gives a very low fidelity feel to the system.
    '- The current system of laying out the various events/timeslots seems to miss a lot of the great ideas that came up during your GR3, in which multiple overlapping events were clearly visible.

    Usability: - Black on Blue for Barry's label is probably not a idea
    '- Probably would be a good idea to include participant names in each event. Currently it requires an additional step to see more details of an event.
    '- Delete button should have a modal dialog for safety, confirming the delete.
    '- Autocomplete works for New Event, not Edit Event
