Design Requirements
After formulating the persona and journey map of the simulated user, we had a comprehensive understanding of the user's pain points, desires, and goals. Based on this, we listed the main functions of our website and excluded some functions that were not so important or difficult to implement. Design requirements also provided themes for storyboards to display later.
​Key Requirements:
-
Create a profile for user based on personal information, experiences, and skills that they input
-
Compile a list of internships and research positions that user is qualified for
-
Enable user to learn about apply for internships directly through the platform without redirecting to external pages
-
Autofill personal information stored on the platform when applying to different internships
-
Allow user to customize application information for given company
-
Connect user with alumni, especially those who have experience in the companies of the user's interest
