Executive Summary 

Team N, a group of University of Calgary students enrolled in CPSC 481 – Human-Computer Interaction I, applied the User-Centered Design process to develop a high-fidelity prototype for their Drone Fleet Management System. Their desktop application is designed for a user to oversee a fleet of local delivery drones. Through five stages, they researched, ideated, developed iterative prototypes, and reported their progress.

After choosing a project idea, they researched the user experience. Their findings informed their design choices and system requirements. With requirements in hand, they developed a low-fidelity prototype. This early prototype helped assess their initial ideas and develop a clearer understanding of the system. Then, they developed a high-fidelity prototype. To critically examine it, they performed a heuristic evaluation which identified 50 problems, the majority of which were addressed. With an ever-improving understanding of their system, they developed a final high-fidelity prototype, the makings of which are detailed herein.
