Phase 1 -Problem Definition & Design Thinking

Problem Statement

In today's fast-paced environment, efficient task management is crucial for individuals and teams
to stay organized, track progress, and meet deadlines. However, many task management
solutions are either overly complex, lack scalability, or fail to integrate seamlessly with existing
systems.

Target Audience
1. Individual Users
2. Small to medium sized Teams
3. Enterprises and Organisations
4. Developers and Tech Enthusiasts
5. Project Managers
6. Education and Nonprofit Organisations

Design Thinking Approach for Task Management Application


1. Empathize
● Understand the needs, challenges, and pain points of potential users through research and
engagement.
Activities:
• Conduct surveys and interviews with individual users, teams, and organizations.
• Analyse existing task management solutions and identify gaps.
• Observe users' workflows and challenges in managing tasks.

Goals:
• Identify core user needs, such as ease of use, flexibility, and collaboration.
• Understand technical requirements for integration with other tools.

2. Define
● Formulate a clear and actionable problem statement based on the insights gathered.
Example Problem Statements:
• "Busy professionals struggle to manage their tasks across multiple devices and
platforms."
• "Small teams lack a simple, affordable tool for task collaboration and tracking
progress."
• "Developers need a flexible API for task management to integrate with custom
applications."
Deliverables:
• Personas for target users (e.g., students, managers, developers).
• A prioritized list of features and requirements.

3. Ideate
Brainstorm and generate innovative solutions to address user needs.
Techniques:
• Conduct brainstorming sessions with stakeholders.
• Explore how features like categorization, notifications, and filtering can solve user
pain points.
• Sketch workflows for core operations such as task creation, assignment, and
updates.
Key Ideas:
• Simple, intuitive REST endpoints for CRUD operations on tasks.
• Flexible filtering and search capabilities for scalability.
• API security with role-based permissions.

4. Prototype
Create a minimal viable product (MVP) or prototype of the RESTful API.
Steps:
• Design and document API endpoints (e.g., Swagger/OpenAPI documentation).
• Build essential features:
• CRUD operations for tasks.
• User authentication and role management.
• Filtering and sorting capabilities.
• Implement a basic database schema to support task storage and relationships.
Tools:
• Frameworks: Flask, Django, Node.js, or Spring Boot.
• Tools: Postman for API testing, Swagger for API documentation.
5. Test
Validate the prototype with real users and gather feedback.
Activities:
• Conduct usability testing with individual users and teams.
• Gather feedback on API documentation clarity and endpoint usability.
• Test performance under different load scenarios.
Metrics:
• API response time and reliability.
• User satisfaction with key features like filtering and notifications.
• Developer ease of integration and usage.

Iterative Development
• Repeat the cycle based on testing outcomes to refine the API design and features.
• By following this Design Thinking approach, the Task Management API can
evolve into a user-centered, efficient, and scalable solution tailored to diverse user
needs.
