Prototype stage
The "Easylift" app is currently in the prototype stage of the UX design thinking process. This phase focuses on transforming ideas and concepts into tangible, interactive representations. This phase is about crafting a functional model that captures the essence of the app's features, layout, and user interactions. Through this prototype, we can in the test phase perform test and refine the user experience, ensuring that the final product seamlessly integrates a userfriendly, simple easy, intuitive onboarding sign up process for booking car rides.Prototype goals
1. Create low-fidelity wireframes that provide a basic visual structure of the app's key features.
2. Develop mid-fidelity wireframes that add more detail to the app's interface and user interactions
3. Ensure that the prototype is designed with a strong focus on the needs and preferences of Baby Boomers and post war generation with visual impairement.
4. Identify and prioritize the most crucial features and functionalities for each section of the app.
5. Enhance the wireframes with more specific design elements, including icons, color schemes, and navigation flow.
6. Prepare the wireframe prototype for usability testing.
MoSCoW method
Prototype
MoSCoW
The MoSCoW method is a valuable tool for decision-making and efficient prioritization of requirements and ensure that the most crucial elements needed by users and design components were addressed first ... This method helps designers and product teams in making well-informed choices about which features and parts of the user experience should be given top priority, and which can be addressed at a later stage or in future iterations By sorting requirements into four distinct groups, teams can concentrate on delivering the critical components of a project while also considering extra features that can be included if there is enough time and resources available
