Michigan Mentors Goal

We decided that creating an app with the main intitiative of providing mentorship to university students would be a great way to do this because we believe:having access to suitable mentors can help students to succeed in their studies and make the most of their university experiences mentorship provides students with invaluable guidance and support when it comes to making important decisions about their future (choosing courses and/or career paths)mentoring can help students to develop necessary skills such as communication, problem-solving, and networking skills

Background Research and Acclimation

The team sat down MProduct Leaders to understand the problem space and learn about our apps intentions and values.

Research Phase

We identified our research goals and questions and made the decision to use a survey, usability tests, and conduct a comparative analysis to understand the needs of current and perspective users.

Design Phase

Informed by UX requirements defined in the research phase, the team went through iterations of low fidelity through high-fidelity mockups.

Evaluation Phase

Once the final design was ready, the team conducted A/B tests to receive feedback on the original vs new design of the Michigan Mentor app

Final Recommendations

The team delivered final design ideas at annual cohort presentations to other cohort members and general members
