Proposal Section 3: Research questions and usage scenarios #5

Closed danfke closed 2 years ago

danfke commented 2 years ago

The purpose of this section is to get you to think about how your target audience might use the app you’re to designing and to account for those needs in the proposal.

For this it can be helpful to create a brief persona description of a member in your intended target audience and write small user story for what they might do with your app. User stories are typically written in a narrative style and include the specific context of usage, tasks associated with that use context, and a hypothetical walkthrough of how the user would accomplish those tasks with your app. If you are using a Kaggle dataset, you may use their “Overview (inspiration)” to create your usage scenario.

Our dashboard helps identify the bees colony loss over the years across different seasons (months) in the US. The geographic visual helps understand the loss for each state and how it varies with state. This can be used by apiarists/beekeepers to improve bee colony health.

Usage scenario:

Buzzing Bee is a beekeeping company interested in researching about the colony loss and wants to work with agriculture practitioners and farms to keep the bees colonies stable. The dashboard will give insights to apiarists/beekeepers what the colony numbers are across the states in the US.

Our dashboard helps identify bee colony losses over quarterly periods in the US. The geographic map visual illustrates how bee colony losses vary over each state for a single period in time, and apiarists/beekeepers can gain an idea of the local severity of colony stressors in different states. The time series plot visualizes the number of colonies over time for a single state and will inform apiarists/beekeepers of how problems affecting colonies increase/decrease over time. The third visualization, the stacked bar chart of stressors, gives insight on what specific problems a certain state's colonies face over time, and can provide crucial information on what stressors need to be combatted to improve colony health.
