30. So what kind of
problems are we
looking for exactly?

31. Problem Statement
A concise
description of the
problem to be
addressed

32. THE ‘VEX’ FACTOR
Familiar Frequent Specific
Irritant Expensive Moves

33. Familiar
Who never
wakes up late?
Frequent
When was the
last time it
happened to
you?
Specific
The story is easy
to tell in a few
clear points
Example: Ignoring Snooze Button
Irritant
“So near… but
so far”
Expensive
Missing key
appointments
Unpredictable
Never know for
sure when it’ll
happen

34. Individually, describe a
problem that fits the
criteria below (vex factors)
Familiar Frequent Specific Irritant Expensive
Unpredict
able

35. Pass your description to
the team member on your
right; try to improve on the
description you’ve received,
OR describe a new problem
below it.

36. Framing
Problems

37. Who?
What?
When?
Where?
Why?

38. Who? What? Where? When? Why?

39. Pick 3 problems that
resonate most with the
team; briefly describe the
‘5 ws’ for each

40. Discuss the problems
your team identified and
take a vote on two
problems to explore (one
is a back-up)
Familiar Frequent Specific Irritant Expensive
Unpredict
able

41. What are the specific
steps someone
experiencing each
problem goes through?
Tell us the story...

42. Situation Complication Question Answer
The
background
to the
specific issue
Explains
what the
specific issue
is
A specific
inquiry into
how the
complication
can be
addressed,
given the
situation
A possible
answer to
the
question
SCQA Mapping

43. Situation Complication Question Answer
There are 100 million
12-18 year olds in the
developed world
A recent poll from
the Chartered
Management
Institute (CMI) found
that 61% of
employers had
encountered
problems with young
people’s discipline
and punctuality.
Everyday young
people frequently
oversleep despite
setting alarm clocks.
Ignoring the snooze
button leads to
oversleeping, and
costly opportunities
are lost such as sitting
exams, maintaining a
good punctuality
record at school,
missing out on job
interviews and key
opportunities in the
morning
How can we help
students to wake up
on time and get out
of bed promptly?
A gamified
commuting
experience where
the user is
rewarded for
punctual arrival at
various checkpoints
mapped with
Google pins.

44. Create your team’s SCQA
problem framing

45. Draft a concise
description of the exact
problem.

How old are you?
How often do you get out of bed late?
How often do you wake up late?
What responsibilities do you have in the mornings?
Do you use the snooze button? How many times in succession?
Have you ever had a wake up call (by telephone)?
What is the biggest opportunity you’ve missed through lateness?

56. Using the web

57. Write a list of the people
you would speak to, and
sources you would
explore to research the
problem

75. From the diary page the user
can input daily feelings and
notes that they can look back
on. They can also rate each day
out of 10.
The user will select the
app form the screen.
Here the user can
select a page from 3
options. These are:
Diary, Goals, and Tips.
From the Goals page users can
input a goal and when this is
achieved it can be turned into
some visual prompt – graph.
Also they can view finished
goals
From the Tips page the
user can receive a tip
daily.
Will our product name
be memorable enough
for people to find the
app and download it?
This will then be turned
into a line graph that
would give you tips on
how to improve if you
get a low score
Within each of these pages there
may be other pages. For example
on the goals page we will have an
achievement log with achieved
goal and on-going goals
This will most likely be
a picture of our logo.
It would make you
enter something you
have done to make you
feel proud.
We can have another
aspect of this page that
makes people want to
come back.
When you have
reached a certain
amount you could get
a reward of some sort
These could be picture
buttons or buttons
with text
It could play a clip of a
song every time you
enter something.
If you get a high score
it will congratulate you.
Maybe we could work
with companies to get
discounts or special
offers for users.
