Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

INÉRO, INC. is an innovative startup from Quebec that serves the aerospace procurement segment. It is incubated with Digihub and supported by Réseau Entreprendre Grand Montréal.


The project aims to create a conceptual low-fidelity prototype that reflects our vision for our procurement software. The software will feature three main modules/workspaces:

  1. A supplier search module
  2. A collaboration workspace
  3. A communication hub encompassing calendar and video calling functionalities.


This is the first technical step towards software development and will serve to gauge the consumer's interest.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

As an intern with INÉRO, you will use Figma to create a prototype of our upcoming software. The software aims to improve buyers' ability to find small aerospace suppliers.


For this project, each student will focus on one area (Supplier Search, Collaboration Workspace, or Communication Hub).


To complete the project's goal, you will need to:


1 Clarify Objectives:

Understand your module's goal (e.g., helping buyers choose reliable suppliers)


2 Understand the Software Scope:

Learn about your module's features (e.g., searching for suppliers)


3 Understand User Persona:

The founder will share briefs listing the users' needs and preferences. For example:

Persona 1: Procurement Manager

  • Challenges: Lengthy supplier search.
  • Goals: Simplify supplier search.

Persona 2: Aerospace Supplier

  • Challenges: Difficulty accessing procurement opportunities
  • Goals: Improve how suppliers' profiles appear in the search


4 Storyboard Creation:

The modules you design will be used as a visual story describing the user's journey on our software.


Creative Freedom with Feedback:

Use your creativity to design engaging visuals with the founder's guidance and feedback, with usability in mind. That includes basic accessibility standards.
