Complete the following:

Choose a client for the project. The client can be a pretend company in a real industry, or the client can be an organization where you are currently employed. If you choose an organization for which you are currently employed, you will need to treat this client as if they are looking for a new solution. You will be analyzing and designing a new application for our organization. All of the work that you submit for this client must be your own original work. You cannot use work that teams within your organization have already developed or designed. For example, in Week $5,$ you will be asked to create a user interface prototype for your client. If you choose your current employer as your client, you must create a new interface for your proposed new system, you cannot use an existing interface as it already exists within your organization. You will use the same company throughout all assignments in this project and throughout the course.

Complete your initial post for the Week $1$ discussion. This will help you prepare for the assignment.

User Research Plan

If you were actually building this system, you would spend a lot of time conducting this research.
