Problem
Class registration is a hectic process, and it occurred to us that this is a stressful process for students, faculty, and advisers every semester.
Objective
My Academic Planner is a web application that aims create a universal location for students to access their course curriculum and view progress. Simplicity and functionality were important considerations when beginning to work on this application.
Process
Research was the first step to begin to understand user issues with the current state of operations. This includes hosting in-person interviews and online surveys. Furthermore, on-site observations were conducted to see daily use with the Learning Management Software (LMS) that students and faculty used.
From this data gathered we generated User Stories and clear Personas that would keep the team on track with progress. Again the keys were to create a simple, functional, and recognizable application.

After sharing the information and research gathered to stakeholders for approval next was to develop content strategy and start to develop the architecture that would show clear user flows.
