The Problem
Our design team observed that calendar applications are niche and specific to one activity and/or habit. How might we design an application that includes features such as a calendar, pattern tracker, and goal setting in an easy, compact, and personable format?
The Goal
To develop a user friendly application that tracks user’s calendars, patterns and goals that is more integrated than what is currently “out there”.
Step 1: User Research
Our first step in user research was creating a survey, of which 75 participants answered, so we had plenty of data to analyze. Some interesting stats that came out of the survey were:

Competitor Analysis:
Step 2: Definition & Ideation
Problem Statement: Our design team observed that calendar applications are niche and specific to one activity and/or habit. The design team is in the process of creating an application that encompasses many of these niche features. How might we design an application that includes features such as a calendar, pattern tracker, and goal setting in an easy, compact, and personable format?

Moving forward our design team would hope to send the application off to developers to publish the application. The team also would like to integrate options such a mood tracker, health tracking, and a feature to coordinate other users.
