Briefing:
We're SitterPlan and our goal is to help babysitters and parents coordinate their schedules to find optimal times for babysitting jobs. Our site allows for two type of users - parents and babysitters - who will each see a different view of the site. Parents can use the site to specify times that they'd like a sitter, and babysitters can use the site to advertise their schedule and look for jobs.
Tasks:
- You're a babysitter. You are willing to babysit between 6pm and midnight most days, but you are going to a party this Friday and you have a test on Wednesday you want to spend some time studying for. Update your schedule accordingly.
- You're a babysitter for the Edwards family. You've forgotten when their daughter Katy is supposed to go to sleep. Look up this information.
- You want to hire a sitter for Friday 7-10PM. Find out if any of your babysitters are free for that timeblock and make a job posting for it.
- You want to hire a stieer for Friday March 22, 7-10PM. Your preference order for Sitters is Dana>Bob>Emily>Alice>Charlie. Find out if a sitter you like is free for that timeblock.

Feedback from presentation and our responses
- Is there a feature to look up the job you're currently working?
- It would be useful to have more labels on the columns
- We are already planning to add times along the side
- We should label the colors we're using - on the paper prototype it's difficult to to tell which colors mean what
- Maybe we could make the colors of the babysitter's schedule pastel to differentiate them from jobs
- We could color-code the family names on the side to match
