the idea

This project was created as part of a five-day design sprint. The app Poppins, which was designed, is a supplement to the child care service of betreut.de

The focus of this project was the development of user-centric features of the application, which provide more trust, seriousness and better recommendations for childcare providers.

“Development of an application for the recruitment of childcare workers with a focus on trust, safety, efficiency and personality“

On the first day of the design sprint, the focus was on problem analysis. Together, we examined the application of the betreut.de portal and defined our long-term goal, which had to be achieved by the end of the sprint.

the prototype testing

With a clickable function prototype, we tested our theses with real users. We did an A/B testing.

We had our test users test both variants. For some, variant A first, for others variant B first. With the second version tested, the users were a bit more confident, but in the end we were able to determine a clear winner - variant A was better accepted.

The result of this process was a clickable prototype of the application built in Figma and completed in Protopie.

The result of this short sprint was a clickable prototype in which we realized our ideas to improve the child care service for more security and strengthened trust.
