User Studies
Survey Questions
The following information was collected from study participants. The questions were asked and recorded by one of the team members, along with usage observations.
- Demographic information
- What do you do when it rains?
- What do you do once you get out of the rain?
- How much did you pay for your current rain protection device, how long have you had it, and what happened to your previous one?
- What other options have you tried?
- Why did you choose what you currently use, compared to the other options?
- What’s your favorite feature?
- What’s your least favorite feature?
- If you could improve some aspect of the product, what would it be?
- If you could have the perfect rain protection device, what would it be like?
- Please rate the following categories from 1 to 5, with 1 being something that is unimportant to you and 5 being very important:
- Durability
- Aesthetics
- Weight
- Size
- Coverage
- Ease of use
- What about your device is difficult to use?
- Do you have any workarounds for these difficulties?
- The participants then were asked to use the standard umbrella, golf umbrella, purse umbrella, and auto open/close umbrella. Observations were recorded by a team member.
- What did you like and dislike about the sample umbrellas?

Conclusion Paragraph
Identified Needs and Opportunities
Updated Stakeholder Needs
From talking with users and cross-referencing it with our stakeholder needs from the first report, we have generated a new list of stakeholder needs:
List goes here
Customer Focus Areas
From these needs, the areas most widely requested by customers can be broken down into 4 main categories: - Umbrella's are too easy to lose - Should be as easy to open/close as possible - Need High Portability - Increased Coverage is always better
We took each one of these needs and generated various concepts designed to satisfy those needs. These concepts are discussed in more detail in our Design Concepts section
