h3. User information

* Which project is worked on currently

%{color:green}-> ENCHANT%

* What is liked/disliked

%{color:green}-> Overall impression seemed positive%

%{color:green}-> Dates at source were deemed unsatisfactory: it turned out that a value type workaround was used to add dates and than suggested/showed that using connected artifacts would be a more preferable solution%

* Ideas for improvement (e.g. improved dashboard for quicker navigation to their tasks)

%{color:green}-> Sadly we run out of time so postponed it for a later meeting%

* Are there known bugs, if yes what prevented reporting

%{color:green}-> Only one was reported and we created an issue for it: #2348% 

h3. %{color:green}Concluding remarks%

* Thanks a lot to Samvel for taking the time for an user research interview

* It was very productive and informative. Sadly, we run out of time after 2 hours but there will most certainly be a follow up meeting.

* One issue that became apparent was the use of notes. They are not part of model and we may should communicate that more clearly -> #2349

  A very useful feature to use instead for annotations is already planned: #2079 Text annotation
