SOLUSI DESAIN APLIKASI NGE-LIST DENGAN PENGINGAT DEADLINE UNTUK MAHASISWA MENGGUNAKAN METODE DESIGN THINKING

Problem: This study examines the difficulties students face in prioritizing tasks and remembering deadlines due to the limitations of existing to-do list applications. Additionally, many available to-do list apps lack an intuitive user interface, making it difficult for users to understand feature workflows. This research proposes a mobile application design with task recording and reminder features to help users prioritize important tasks. Method: To address this challenge, the study applies the Design Thinking 5 Stages method, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches by conducting an in-depth analysis focused on users' task management needs. Results: The study includes the creation of an Empathy Map and User Persona to define the problem. In the Ideate stage, the How Might We (HMW) method is used to generate creative ideas based on user needs. Subsequently, a prototype is developed using Figma and tested with Maze Tools to gather user feedback. Conclusion and further development: The findings indicate that this approach effectively produces designs that align with user needs. Testing with Maze Tools achieved a success rate of 80%-95%, while validation through Acceptance Criteria, User Requirement Metric, and Use Case Logic yielded values close to 1, confirming the system's validity. The proposed design serves as a foundation for developing an adaptive task management application for students. Future enhancements may include daily productivity analysis features and integration with devices such as smartwatches.
