Details

The project aims to develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for Woku, a platform designed to assist stay-at-home parents and individuals seeking career changes in finding meaningful work opportunities. The platform will focus on three core features: job discovery, user onboarding, and a simple two-sided matching system. The goal is to create a lean, functional prototype that effectively demonstrates the platform's potential to connect users with suitable job opportunities. By leveraging classroom knowledge in software development, user experience design, and project management, learners will gain practical experience in building a real-world application. The project will also emphasize the importance of user-centric design and agile development methodologies, ensuring that the platform is intuitive and responsive to user needs.

Deliverables

The project deliverables include a functional MVP of the Woku platform, featuring a job discovery module, a streamlined user onboarding process, and a basic two-sided matching system. Additionally, learners will provide documentation detailing the development process, user interface design, and any testing conducted. The final presentation will showcase the MVP's capabilities and highlight its potential impact on helping users transition into meaningful work.
