Revised User Analysis:

Person A

Female Amy is a female college student who regularly goes online to check her facebook and see what her friends are doing. She generally likes to throw events every weekend at her apartment with friends. Uses email and facebook events to schedule events. She makes these online events at around the middle of the week (about 3 days prior to the event.) Overall she always has intended people to invite. On rarer occasions she might meet someone new and invite them over. The people she invites might also have their friends come over, so sometimes there are more people that she has invited.

Problems

No one Rarely anyone ever confirms her invites. Has Amy's invites online. She doesn't know who is coming. The number often varies since sometimes people can't attend or friends of friends are invited. She usually has to call people the day of the event in order to get confirmations and a better number of who is attending.

Person B

Mom Bonnie is a mom who has to do all of the scheduling for her young pre-teen kids. She rarely gets on the internet, but she does have a smart phone. Bonnie is not very tech savvy but her older teenage kids sometimes show her how to install apps for her phone. She keeps a schedule on a paper calendar and has to manually erase/update them for upcoming and changing events. These events can range from medical appointments to play dates with other kids.

Problems

Bonnie has difficulties keeping track of events for the kids since they are all written on paper. If this paper calendar gets lost, then she loses all of the events. Bonnie also realizes that she has to schedule events for her kids AND herself. If she decides to have another baby then she will have to schedule more and more. The paper can only hold so much. She also hates it when someone reschedules because she has to erase or scratch out previous events and make new ones. Sometimes she also forgets that her kid has a checkup with the dentist since she doesn't always look at the calendar.

Person C
