What is the problem your company is trying to solve by having this work done? What are your criteria for success?


The BoardSpace app has paying customers and is well-developed. We would like to conduct user testing on our current web application. We believe that insights coming out of these experiments will help us design a better product, provide insights into how to help our customers and offer a better experience to our customers.


The specific project would review the create meeting flow and the minute taking process.


We would like a group of students to conduct user testing scenarios on our product with a small group of current and potential customers and then report the results to us. The user group remains condo and non-profit boards of directors. Specifically, administrators could be nonprofit Executive Directors, Chief Executive Officers, Executive Assistants, Condo Directors or Association managers.
