As EVs have increased in popularity over the past few years, the infrastructure to charge them has similarly expanded. To gain market share, GasBuddy wants to create a feature in its mobile app where users can search for the closest electric charging station to their current location. Research Goals I needed to understand two primary tasks : 1) How the current GasBuddy mobile app sitemap is organized, so I can understand where the EV charging station search feature can be integrated into the sitemap. 2) Understanding how people search for their current EV charging stations for their vehicles, and what matters for that decision. Research Objectives I’d perform a competitive analysis of other EV charging station search apps to understand how those apps were structured. I’d interview EV owners to understand their charging station search strategies . I’d review the information architecture of the existing GasBuddy app. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/66cfab9f-e9a6-4325-a757-3b1dd25bc380/Black_Blue_Gasbuddy+Gray_+Frames.jpg GasBuddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/5d0413d9-9d12-41ab-a4f2-cfa458b4b974/Black_EVCharger_Dashboard+Competitive+Analysis.jpg GasBuddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/91ebd2a0-a68f-4b47-aeae-9a933d587291/Black_Empathy+Map+for+EV+Charging.jpg GasBuddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/8bf70186-0bf2-42e6-86da-79f2815622bd/Black_Blue_Gasbuddy+Sitemap_Gray.png GasBuddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/1630858009413-CLZATK4UT0BE4BDA3ND2/Task+Flow+for+Gasbuddy.png GasBuddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/1630858254501-BGFUF05T7EK0MU9EP44L/090521_GasbuddySketch.jpeg GasBuddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/1630858402428-VMBZRAY89008HYWYL6XA/090521_Gasbuddy+LoFi+1.jpg GasBuddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/1632076914056-CDUGYQIVQRV0JMXFINQE/090521_Gasbuddy+LoFi+2.png GasBuddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/1632076936033-A3P602J8QS6BU920Q9S6/090521_Gasbuddy+LoFi+3.png GasBuddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/ca317c14-d0d7-478c-8ddb-166d43a081c3/1212021+Gasbuddy+2.jpg GasBuddy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/a7a7a1e9-150b-4d21-bb2b-0c186d66d0ac/1212021+Gasbuddy+Wireframe+1.png GasBuddy The initial GasBuddy app was enhanced to include an EV charging station option. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/0c382e91-3131-4e56-a2a7-8e7710cbc425/1212021+Gasbuddy+2.jpg GasBuddy - Make it stand out The initial GasBuddy app was enhanced to allow an option for search for EV charging stations.

The high level goals and objectives are as follows: Identify what metrics were most relevant to Mosaic executive management as a whole, as well as what metrics were relevant for a specific department, like network services. Create a series of components to organize the data in the reporting tool, and make sure the dashboard adhered to Mosaic brand guidelines. Develop the reporting tool using Microsoft PowerBI, and identify the data source for the dashboard.

How Might We- Project Goals Notion wants to improve the experience of users interacting through Notion’s mobile app, in order to further increase customer retention and introduce new opportunities for capturing information in the Notion platform. Research Goals I needed to understand two primary tasks : 1) Understand how current Notion users utilized the mobile app on a day-to-day basis, and how this compared to their desktop usage of the app. 2) New features that would specifically improve the mobile app experience of using Notion. Research Objectives I’d interview current Notion users, and develop research artifacts such as empathy maps and sample personas, to summarize my findings. I’d review the information architecture of the existing Notion app, to understand where a voice-memo feature would best fit in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6085e0456135c83003936d61/cf1960d4-0334-488d-8433-dd7996a30eef/Current+Notion+Mobile+App.png Notion Voice Memo -
