User information * Since when are they using OpenAtlas %{color:green}-> for about 10 month with gradual rising task complexity% * Which project is worked on currently %{color:green}-> "bITEM":http://bitem.at% "bITEM":http://bitem.net% * What is liked/disliked %{color:green}-> see additional outcome% * Ideas for improvement (e.g. improved dashboard for quicker navigation to their tasks) %{color:green}-> see additional outcome% * What is the workflow when questions or problems arise (manual, Redmine, mail, colleagues, ...) %{color:green}-> talks to Stefan Eichert because of instant availability (same office), he is the project lead and of course an expert in OpenAtlas% * Are there known bugs, if yes what prevented reporting %{color:green}-> No, the user experience was entirely bug-free% * Are they feel included in the development process %{color:green}->Yes, naturally because of the proximity to Stefan Eichert% h3. %{color:green}Feedback and additional observations% * *Performance*: some views took long to load, especially updating events took a few seconds -> may be solved with #2300: Load form tables dynamically * *Translations*: for description translations a workaround (special character sequences in description field) was used but seemed unhandy and error prone -> could be solved with #1925: Multi language support for data entering * *Description*: the description field was noted as too small -> an issue was created: #2327 * *Table views*: it was noted that filter functions would be helpful -> an issue for this already exists: #998 (the oldest open one) * *Event views*: it was noted that it's difficult to know which (sub) class e.g. an existing event might be -> an issue was created: #2328 * *Profile*: the time module was activated but not needed and there seemed no awareness that it could be turned off to make for a less cluttered user interface * *Move*: confusing workflow for adding moving persons/groups -> This is an older (unsolved) discussion but I put it on the agenda of the next developer meeting h3. %{color:green}Concluding remarks% * Thanks a lot to Celestine for taking the time and volunteering for our first structured user research interview * Results were very interesting. There were new ideas for improvement and also confirmation of existing ideas * Celestine seemed comfortable using and navigating OpenAtlas * I (Alex) liked the reported bug-free experience, especially considering that Celestine mostly works with a not (yet) released development version
