# Success Metrics and Validation Plan

## Team Goals
*Discuss and identify any team goals that you think would be important to tackle*

* Provide a fully-functional, educational tool that's interactive and informative
* Have a good user flow that passerbys at the Winter technigala can quickly pick up and interact with
* Have a product that is easy for anyone to use and to learn about the pros and cons of Electronic Health Records and how blockchain technology can solve some of the solutions in the future.
* Provide people with a real life example of blockchain in order to further their understanding of decentralized systems.
* Each member should create and complete at least 3 issues per week (can be as big or as small as you want)
* Meet in person on Wednedays for paired-programming, updates, etc.

## Success Metrics
*what are some success metrics that you might use for your product / customers / your team / your cs98?*

* Have a very minimal number of failures when test users work through the flow of logging in, using all the features, and understanding the informational bits.
* Create a survey and ask participants what new things they have learned about the blockchain and ask about what areas of the top still remain unclear. 
    * Ask users to consider what other industries could benefit from blockchain technology
* Have our product be used to educate people on how blockchain technology works and its applications towards modern healthcare solutions.
* Users at the Winter Technigala give us concrete feedback as opposed to vague comments like "yeah, it's pretty cool"
    * At 21F technigala, our project wasn't exactly fun or interactive (file management systems aren't very interesting)

## Validation Plan
*how do you get from goals to success metrics that are validated? this can be user testing, performance metrics, a public demo, etc. this is your implementation plan to gather the above.*

* Create a comprehensive survey that will be able to track and gauge participants learning and experience
* Perform user testing (with friends) before the technigala and see how they interact with the system, how it can be more intuitive, etc.
* Gauge users' take-aways on blockchain storage before and after product interaction
