- 2. Quiver is: ● For: busy college students looking for jobs ● Who are dissatisfied with: the repetitive nature and time consumption of job applications ● Our product is a: Google Docs extension ● That provides: an efficient way to complete multiple cover letters ● Unlike: alternative cover letter helpers ● Our product: automatically imports important company information and finds company news to incorporate into the letter.
- 3. New Features ● Provide links to company news ● News summarizer ● Frontend quality-of-life changes
- 4. User Reviews We tested our new features with 6 users.
- 5. “The news article summary feature is a lot better than before but could still use some work.” “Having so many urls to choose from is great; I can get all my research in one place.” “I like the new instruction tab but it can be annoying switching to it to see the replaceable fields.” User Quotes
- 6. “Users will have an increased chance of landing a job due to the increased number of applications and a more eye-catching cover letter for each employer.” Hypothesis
- 7. 1. It’s important to understand user needs first before implementing new features ● “I don’t think the autofill feature is the main reason someone would use this, its mainly how long it takes to research interesting company news to talk about.” ● “What if I want to use this without my own template? Can I get a preset letter?” Lessons Learned
- 8. 2. It’s important to understand user needs first before implementing new features Lessons Learned (cont.) ● We didn’t plan on using Google Docs initially ● Deciding on refactoring later caused more work that we could have saved ● It’s better to have a platform easier for people to use than one easier to code
