Updates

Wrote up user stories in User Stories
As team, went over insights from interviews and brainstormed big-picture potential dashboard organization/features in FigJam
Pulled out and assigned 4 of the most complex/important user stories
- Finding/searching for data/filtering – Riishi Jeevakumar
- Displaying values vs booleans vs enums & comparing data – Catherine Burns
- Displaying Faults – Cheryl Li
- Historical data – Joy He (Deactivated)

Brainstorm as many concepts as you’d like
- Recommended: diagram out the user flow. This is a sample one I did for a hackathon (a slightly shitty app for crowdsourced leftovers) https://drive.google.com/file/d/19wIMkiZAql_yDnEB4oYsX-W2dzRsfihV/view?usp=sharing – yours will likely be much simpler (only 1 flow for each concept, no subflows)
- Sketches (can be pen and paper) or wireframes (figma) of 2-3 concepts
  - Remember storyboarding? Ideally the sketches/wireframes would be in some kind of storyboard form, and follow the user flow
  - If you’re strapped for time, a simple sketch communicating each of your concepts will do

I forgot to mention this, but if you see any random stuff in the wild that looks aesthetic, throw it in here 🤷‍♀️ https://www.figma.com/file/7an6eJ4dgmSnQP0P3TFxds/Telemetry-Dash-Moodboard?node-id=0%3A1
Any random stuff (like Stats Canada) that you think would be good inspo for someone else/the rest of the team, share it over Slack!

Notice that the sample has 5 main research questions/themes. These are your guiding questions that you are seeking to answer. They are BIG and ambiguous.
This weekend (June 12/13), try to come up with 5 big questions EACH that you want answered
- 5*4 = 20 questions total
- 10 for MSXIV dash (Rishii and Joy), 10 for MSXII dash (Cheryl and Catherine)
- As a team, we will discuss what questions we want to prioritize (ie if all of us came up with the same question, we likely want to include that question)
Next week, flesh out the sub-questions for the big questions/themes we agree on
- I will try to provide guidance on this if needed, or prompts to help you brainstorm
- I will also be re-splitting up the interview guides, because I feel that we may need different ones for each subteam using telemetry – let’s discuss Monday
