BLOG: "CMUAN Cycle Venture"

DEFINITION OF HYPOTHESIS

     Interviews were carried out at Central Mindanao University targeting students who would potentially use the "CMUAN Cycle Venture" application. The aim of these social media interviews is to validate the team's hypothesis and gather additional information related to our venture. The hypothesis posits that if this venture can address the issues faced by CMUAN and provide benefits to its target users, then the majority of potential users interviewed will express a positive outlook toward the future of this venture.

TEST AND RESULT OF THE HYPOTHESIS

I interviewed 4 students, all my respondents are from Central Mindanao University. The interview consisted of four questions.

The results of the survey were used to solve the problems expressed by the respondents and to find out if the rental product through mobile app. The results of my survey is lack of transportation and financial. To solve this problems we implement a mobile app for transportation to booked and solve problem.

TEAM OPTIONS AND DECISIONS:

The team has formulated two resolutions aimed at addressing the identified issue highlighted during the survey: 1. The initial resolution involves the implementation of a ride-hailing service tailored for students encountering transportation challenges. Accessible through a dedicated mobile application developed by our team, users simply log in to the system and have the flexibility to schedule pick-ups according to their preferred time, location, and destination. 2. The secondary resolution entails the establishment of a bike rental service, also accessible through a mobile application. This alternative, comparatively more economical than ride-hailing, offers users the convenience of logging in to the system and gaining access to available bikes. Within the system, users are presented with two options: (a) Scheduled pick-up service from the user's current location to their desired destination, catering specifically to individuals who do not possess bike-riding skills. (b) Online registration and payment to avail bike rental services. These decisions represent the team's efforts to address the target demographic's needs and to develop a comprehensive and practical application, thereby fostering inclusivity and diversity among users.

LESSON LEARNED:

As a student here in Central Mindanao University I face a lot of difficulties especially in transportation and my heart breaks when the University of Central Mindanao University, announced the Habal habal is no longer be allowed to enter the campus. The experience underscores a broader lesson in team dynamics and product development. It aligns with the understanding that successful innovation is grounded in connecting with users, actively listening to their insights, and adapting collaboratively.

RESULTS

The results of the study were used to address the problems expressed by the respondents and to determine whether the rental product through mobile app ride-booking would be convenient for the intended users. The survey revealed that, the majority of students experienced financial difficulties. Since its beyond our limitations, we opted to focus on the second problem that the majority of students encountered, which was transportation. The respondents found it difficult to go from the main gate to their intended classroom, especially in the forestry area, which is located quite a distance away. Furthermore, waiting for tricycles is inconvenient, especially when time is limited.

In conclusion, the suggested rental product via mobile app ride booking was able to evaluate the target customers, ease their worries about finding a solution to their issues, and improve the convenience of their lives. We understand that not all students will find it convenient or suitable. Additionally, even students who disagree with us on this matter are nevertheless interested and supportive of the suggested rental bike product.
