Discovery step
DISCOVERY
User research:
I conducted interviews and created empathy maps to fully understand users, mapping their journeys and needs.
One user segment identified through research consisted of busy professionals who lacked time to purchase tickets physically at the box office.
This same group confirmed the initial assumptions, and the research even revealed that time was not the only problem that users faced and that limited them from buying tickets.
Yes, other identified problems include other challenges that make it difficult to get to the cinemas as well, and among them several points were listed, such as huge queues, forgetting to go to the cinemas on the day scheduled, in addition to queues even to enter the cinemas.
