To get a better understanding of the users that will be piloting the platform, proto-personas were created prior to the workshop. As such, 3 types of users were identified based on their needs, values, abilities: Viewers, Instructors, Admins.

Admins
Platform operators responsible for coordinating live sessions and managing both front-stage (user-facing) and back-stage (system-level) aspects of the service to ensure smooth delivery.

We then facilitated several story-mapping sessions with stakeholders. Together, we mapped the end-to-end journeys for the highest-priority user stories, allowing stakeholders to share their perspectives and clarify motivations, requirements, and operational details.

We designed and developed a fully working MVP which supports:
