Experience feedback
The Utah Valley University students researched and analyzed user personas and their key requirements for a Climate Change Impact Planning software product prototype. They generated, ran, and then analyzed detailed psychographic surveys in order to qualitatively identify the types of users that would be interested in this product, and their key desired features. Their findings reveal some deep insights into required branding and positioning and will substantially improve our design direction and product development. The students demonstrated enthusiasm, research skills, creativity and insight throughout the project, combined with rigorous data analysis. They were always pleasant, professional, keen to understand our project goals and objectives, and willing to go the extra mile to help achieve them. Overall the team's result was of real value, we are extremely confident in their veracity of their findings, and their conclusions and suggestions will be put to immediate use as we continue to design our prototype. I highly recommend their exceptional work.
