From workshop to prototype: A project about the development of a conference application based on the use of UIM

This project investigates how User Innovation Management (UIM) can be used to organize a design process based on a request for a mobile application for the Persuasive Technology Conference in Aalborg in 2020. Furthermore, the target users were not yet defined, and the design process attempted to take this into account. Therefore, other conference mobile applications were examined, and a workshop was held in order to gain insights into the act of going to a conference. As a result of an analysis, requirement specifications became the foundation for making a prototype. This prototype was evaluated, and a final prototype was constructed. The need for information about transportation, conference agenda, and social activities during the conference, was identified as the most significant factors. These were included in the design by adding features that address and support said areas..
