MTA’s internal software has been facing delays due to their aged communication system, based on that they want to invest in new software to modernize their employee communications by creating a secure mobile app that turns cellphones into communication hubs keeping employees connected to do their jobs more efficiently.The problem below helped to synthesize and understand the user’s needs.
MTA employees need a secure way to access different modes of communication easily at work so that they can complete their field tasks efficiently and respond to communications from coworkers in a timely manner.
An app offering automated voice commands with standard communication functions to allow employees to respond while working. The app is simple and easy to use; offering translations, subtitles, and enlarged font options for employees underground.
Survey was conducted with 22 participants on Google Forms and a 10 questions interview with 4 participants, all of them worked for transportation, being 3 of them MTA employees.The goal was to define and understand the audience, the current industry, and possible problem statements through research.
After analyzing all the research collected we create our personas to make sure we developed an app that would work for both on-site and in-office employees.
Each member of the group iterated what they though the app might look like. As a group we reviewed each one of them, and together created a vague idea of how the app might look and how it flow in order to create our user-flows.
