next actions

  • create a goal sheet for the participatory design (in this here blog)
  • figure out what users to recruit

This is to get done by Monday, when we'll figure out the next next steps.

My sister is coming to my house for dinner on Sunday. I will ask is she is will to participate in our project. I have one other person in mind and I will try and contact him this week.

Goals:

Learn their current methods for keeping track of tax deductibles. Do they currently have a PDA, shoe box, Quicken? Do they do their own taxes?

Understand current frustrations.

Question - What would make keeping track easier?

I spoke to a second participant who is willing to help us. He would fit our typical user profile; PDA user who travels and has tax deductible business expenses.

The one problem will be coordinating the time. He lives in DC but is in Baltimore every other weekend.
