Planning leisure with other people is difficult when interests, budgets, schedules, and social styles do not align. The team needed to turn a broad opportunity into a focused product direction that people could test quickly.

I synthesized research inputs and aligned the team around the questions that mattered most: what people need from shared leisure planning, where coordination breaks down, and which flows were worth testing first.

The team translated the research into two prioritized flows for a high-fidelity MVP. I helped shape the product direction so the prototype could test the clearest value quickly, rather than trying to solve every planning need at once.

Four participants tested the two prioritized flows in the high-fidelity MVP. Their feedback helped the team assess whether the product direction was understandable and where the experience needed refinement.

The team moved from a broad opportunity to two testable, high-fidelity flows in six weeks. The work gave the team a clearer direction for continued product development and iteration.

This project reinforced the value of creating focus before pursuing polish. I learned how research synthesis, clear priorities, and a shared prototype can help a distributed team make progress under a short timeline.
