Short Project Overview
Project Description
   

A family-based community service social platform for youth, volunteers and parents to actively engage with one another, broadcasting local and overseas community service projects and initiatives, and creating public awareness in various aspects such as community and social work, and parenting.

It is a management information system which allows various stakeholders such as the management with data analytics tools for organizing, evaluating and efficiently running their departments. Management can gain a comprehensive visibility of available resources in the organization, making strategic and right decisions in areas such as planning and resource allocation. It also helps to analyze operational activities in the organization, streamline and automate various manual processes such as volunteer recruitment and evaluation, and stakeholder relationship management, enhancing work efficiency.

Project Usability
Usability Studies
   

Our team aims to develop a user friendly and intuitive platform for our users. Hence, usability studies play a big part of our development process as they allow us to assess user requirements and find out what works best for them. Usability studies will be conducted in two forms: heuristic evaluations and UAT.

Heuristic evaluations will be based on Nielsen's ten usability heuristics, which are ten general principles for user interface design.
Violations of these heuristics will be assessed on a severity scale of 1 to 4 according to these factors:

  • Frequency
  • Impact
  • Persistence

1 = Cosmetic problem only: need not be fixed unless extra time is available on project
2 = Minor usability problem: fixing this should be given low priority
3 = Major usability problem: important to fix, so should be given high priority
4 = Usability catastrophe: imperative to fix this before product can be released

Project Scope

We will utilize an open-source content management system written in java, ***, to develop our web application on. We chose *** because it is highly customizable, scalable and flexible in terms of UI design, functionalities and access control.
