Planidoo - Co creation of a planning platform

About

Planidoo is an innovative platform which supports people to organize small-scale cultural events. Through smart links with ticketing, local funding opportunities and relevant providers the platform provides stability and added value for people who want to organize something. Planidoo would like to improve the involvement of its visitors, professionals and individuals, to create content adjusted to their needs. Additionally, they would like to create an application that will assist DIY organisers during the different phases of the organization of an event.

During this Living Lab research, MICT is responsible for the user research. Together with a panel of users the platform was co-created. The research starts with a survey to collect information about current habits on organizing tools, and to get a first idea of the needs and wants of organizers. After this survey a co-design workshop focusing on scenario-building will take place. The research will be finalized by usability and user experience testing. This means that potential users will be invited to our home lab to test the current version of the platform and give their feedback on both functionality, lay-out, user friendliness,...
