Cynthia the casual user
Cynthia is a user who does not use TeamTimer quite as intensely as people on project teams. She isn't the most organized person in the world either. She wants to create countdowns to events, such as birthdays of close friends and family. She wants to be notified of events efficiently. She also would like to have the option share timers with a specified group of people, or share them publicly.

TA Feedback.
This project, as it stands, isn't a stretch. There are a few ways you can handle this - by broadening the user population, or making it mobile (for a reason). We'll discuss this further in person.
