TeamUp! Explained

Social Setting

The social setting of our project would be group-based class, competition such as Hackathon, or any setting for a creative collaboration. Our application allows people with different or similar backgrounds and experiences to gather up and make a well-balanced group. Our target users would be those who want to know the important qualities of potential team members efficiently.

Our motivation

  • People felt isolated, lost, discouraged, or overwhelmed

  • Team synergy is just as important to succeed

  • Inaccurate categorization of skills can be detrimental

We provide..

For project creator:

  • The ability to create a project and add descriptions 

  • Add required skills that will be needed for your projects

  • Pick your team member based on their skills and years of experience

For people looking for a team:

  • View projects based on your interests and skills

  • Join a team with members that have different skills

Research 

Need Finding & Interviews
From the field research, we learned that team synergy is difficult to achieve with the conventional model of creating a team of people who are unfamiliar with each other. People are forced to put people together in a semi-random manner.

What's been done in the space already
​
From observations, interviews, and competitive analyses, we’ve found that there is no single platform that effectively takes this idea and implements it efficiently for students. Most similar applications are based on niche markets, experienced professionals, or distant relationships. With “Team Up”, we bring a quick, easy solution to party building in co-located, synchronous interactions.

Design Process

 
Prototype 1​

We used the Google Suite, primarily Google Sheets and Google Forms, to create a working prototype. However, even with scripting many parts of the app had to be manually changed to operate.

Prototype 2

After hitting functionality limits in Google Sheets, we transitioned to Bubble for our second prototype. With Bubble, we were able to create a full-fledged website complete with account sign in and database access for projects and applicants. It was also much more flexible in terms of UI, making it possible to implement all features with no manual intervention required during usage.
