Milestone 1

Milestone 1.1: Customers

Customers (those that transact with you, the people buying): 

• Leagues (pro, semi-pro, college, high school, travel)

• Individual teams (analytics)

• Coaches (travel teams, lower level play) 

• Third party training staff (educational tool)

• Fans (subscription service for data access) 

• Stadiums

• Gambling venues/websites (FanDuel, etc.)

• Players (self reflection, Fitbit model)

• Scouts (freelance)

• Showcase staff and combines 

• Clothing manufacturer (might be a business partner depending on relationships)

• Regulatory government body (assess violations, create new regulations)

• Parents (child safety, statistic gathering, peace of mind, choosing what sport is best for the child)

• Prediction of chronic pain/injury

• Pickup players (more on the angle of health and exercise. How are we different from Fitbit)

• Game developers (more real-world reflection of the games)

Milestone 1.2: Needs

• A device that is not too bulky and in the way.

  • The device can be made into clothing, or be an external tool that you wear (watch, anklet, etc.)

• An application for the data acquired that is easy to navigate.

• A device that is easy to set up and use.

Milestone 1.3: Requirements

• The device shall be able to acquire data that is not only informative but is also correct and accurate.

• Applications (Website, IOS app, Android) shall be made and link with the device in order to display data there.

• AI shall be able to gather all data collective and make statements to the user depending on what the data is. 

  • ex.) The AI gathers information of a center in a football game and gives statements to that center about the best ways they blocked during the game and ways to block to avoid injuries.

Milestone 1.4: Needs-Requirements Mapping

• Define customers and stakeholders more (age, location, when, who)

• Assign who is going to speak to who and when. What information do we want from them (open ended questions: to what extent… how often… do you consider)? 

• Minimum threshold of interviews that are statistically significant: 50 interviews (~9 per person)

• Do not relate it to a product, just pose it as a survey. We don’t want to bias them. This is an academic exercise. Ask them if you can record it.

  • With supplemental online survey.

• Read up on Fitbit, Apple Watch, any health apps and other data collection tools to compare.
