By [Taiwo, Ciara, Jemma and Chris]

Who will the App help? Students and teachers

What is the situation behind the problem ?

Students forget they have homework. When does the problem occur?

Everyday Where does the problem occur?

At home and at school. Why does the problem occur?

Teachers don‟t have time or forget to mention the homework Students forget they have homework or loose their homework

diary.

Background Situation

Many students forget they have homework or will forget, check on frog and the homework is not up which will lead to

detention When they are mot reminded or the teacher doesn‟t put it on

frog, or loose their diary the students use these as excuses. Many teachers forget and have to wait until they are back

into the school‟s system.

Problem

I LOST MY DIARY! I’M

GOING TO GET A DETENTION

The key question our team is trying to answer is:

“How is the Frog App different from

Frog the website?”

Key Question

The answer to the key question is:

The frog website can only be used by computer or laptop, even if you use the website version on your phone its different. If you don‟t have internet it is

impossible to access frog, which can lead to detention. The frog app is an easier way of avoiding detentions and much simpler way of understanding the process

Key insight statements

“Our team, the A Team are developing a mobile app for Frog. To help students access frog quicker, it is

also less hassle, as a student myself, I find it hard to access frog, with this app its easy and you can access

it everywhere..”

Mini Elevator Pitch

After analysing the results of the surveys we sent out to potential users, we found the following:

Most students will use the app when it is made. Many are not willing to pay for the app and feel

that it should be free if they really want to help the students.

They are moderately likely to recommend the product to others.

User Profiles- What we found out about our users

Having conducted some research into the current app market, my team found out that there are no competitors.

There is no other similar products.

This is why we think producing the app is a good idea because its one of a kind.

Competitors and alternative solutions

Student User story: “As a student I want reminders of my homework so I can reduce the amount of detention I get because of homework. In addition, I want to be able to view my homework when I am away from home or when I don‟t have access to internet.”

MVP user stories

Data: The data that is required for this app is the notifications files

which will be stored. These notification files will allow the homework on the app to

give notifications and pop ups on when homework to due and reminders, just like if you receive a message you have a pop up.

We will need authorisation from the phone company to access these notifications or for them to process the notifications from the frog app to the phone.

Technical Feasibility:

Our solution is technically possible to build because it does not require functions that do not exist on mobiles.

A professional developer would be able to build our solution in to the phone but do not have knowledge of how long it will take.

Data and Technical Feasibility

Business case hypothesis:

“We think that and know that students and teachers are not willing to pay for the Frog App but maybe as time goes by we can start adding a charge slowly. If not that‟s not all

important its about the education.”

Business model choice: Statement: My team‟s app, „Frog‟ will operate

on a business model.

Business Case & Customer pledges

Our team will use the following three main marketing strategies to reach our specific users:

1. Advertising on social media e.g. Facebook and Twitter.

2. Flyers- Hand out flyers to local schools.

3. Word of mouth.
