Persona: Eye Cinema

In order to gain experience in creating personas for our final idea: ThawFreeze, we prepared by creating a dummy one first. This 'trial-run' persona was created for Eye Cinema and our team started off by thinking up of which of our friends and family members would be  regular cinema goers to base a persona off them.

Although it turned out that not many people we know of take pleasure in regularly attending cinema showings, we finally figured out one person we knew of and although it was only one person, it was enough for this exercise.

We started writing down the facts we knew.

Her name was Asia and she was a 21 year old student. Moving on to discussing her Behaviour and Habits we wrote down how often she visits cinema, which was roughly every 3 weeks and included a fact we all agreed was just as important, she likes to arrive to the showings very early, sometimes up to 40 mins and likes to sit and look at posters of upcoming movies.

After discussing what she found difficult or unpleasant about her cinema experiences, we noted down the overpriced food and expensive tickets as well as the not so friendly staff, lack of good theater conditions and the fact that age restrictions aren't enforced most times.

Moving on we put our heads together to get the Goals and we ended up with being able to watch movies cheaply and regularly which would be solved by a loyalty card or a day pass as well as making the cinema more clean so that the floors aren't as sticky.

Sprint 2 - Reflection

We started this sprint off with sprint planning sessions. We had two planning meetings. One occurring on Monday directly after our Advanced Professional Skills lecture and another meeting taking place after our lectures had ended Tuesday afternoon. Organizationally we made one change in the way we segmented our communication. We decided that instead of having multiple channels on Slack for the various aspects of our work that we would have a single channel for each week of the term. And thus for this sprint, we relegated all our communication to the new week3   channel on Slack. Our first planning meeting was short due to the lecture slides not being on available on Blackboard making it difficult for us to work out which tasks we had to do. However, we could decide on who could write this week's sprint retrospective blog. Also, we decided on a final name for our product. We all posted what we believed would be a good name for our product, into the week3 channel so th...

Sprint 4

This weeks sprint took place on the 2nd of October at 12:15. There were various items that need to be discussed and task that needed to be assigned. To start, we created a new channel in Slack for the week. We then discussed each task individually. Through discussion we were able to assign tasks that suited each individuals attributes. There was brief conflict as both Hasan and Joanna wanted to create the storyboard because they both enjoy working with design, in the end, we came to a compromise where Hasan would get this design task and Joanna would get the next. The other tasks were assigned with no issues. We discussed who we could contact in other to gauge the market. We decided to think individually on this task for the week and present our ideas during Monday's sprint. We decided this because we all initially had the same or very similar ideas such as surveys and emails to companies etc. We concluded that working individually on ideas for now, might lead to a more creativ...

Sprint 7

Sprint 7 took was divided up into 2 parts. Originally it took place on Monday 23rd Oct in The Hub where our team met up to discuss all the work we had to split up for the upcoming week. We have done the BMC the week beforehand so we were happy with this being a lighter week workload wise. We split up all the tasks we had to do and updated each other on what we've been working on so far so that we're all on the the same page when it came to things like the production price and where it came from and who we talked to about our product ThawSafe amongst other things. We concluded our sprint and went about our week knowing that we all were aware of what we had to do individually and what all our teammates were doing also.   Throughout the week we noticed other teams talking and working on their deliverables for the module that we haven't realized we had to do. It was a busy week full of lectures so none of us had much time to meet up and recheck if we had all tasks account...
