Requirement Gathering
To ensure the Go Mission app met the specific needs of Mission College students, we conducted a multifaceted approach to gather requirements. This included surveys, interviews, and an in-depth analysis of user behavior. By engaging with the student community directly, we gained insights into their preferences, pain points, and must-have features for the app.
Design and Wireframing
Using the data collected during the requirement gathering phase, I led the creation of wireframes and prototypes. With a focus on crafting an intuitive user interface (UI) and seamless user experience (UX), the app facilitates easy access to critical features like class registration, fee payment, class search, and maps.

ModoLabs Platform
To expedite the development process and maintain consistency with Mission College's branding, we leveraged the ModoLabs platform. This platform facilitates the integration of user interface design and backend functionality, aligning the project with our established brand standards.
Class Registration Module
A pivotal feature of the app is the class registration module. This module allows students to seamlessly register and pay for their preferred courses. Integrated within this is a secure payment gateway that facilitates hassle-free fee payment within the app.
Class Search Functionality
A comprehensive search feature empowers students to easily find classes based on various criteria such as course names, professors, timings, or locations. With an emphasis on user-friendliness, the app allows the intuitive filtering and navigation of search results. I was tasked to create three skins for the module: one for Mission College, one for the two combined colleges in the district, and one for our "sister school" West Valley College.

Maps and Directions
The app features detailed maps and navigation services, and offers precise directions to classrooms, offices, and other facilities across our campus. The interactive maps are designed with a user-centric approach, ensuring ease of use and accurate guidance.
User Feedback and Iteration
Post-launch, we gathered invaluable feedback from a limited user group. Analyzing user suggestions and observations, we iterated on the app, implementing necessary improvements to enhance functionality and user experience.
Launch and Deployment
Upon meeting the project benchmarks and aligning with user expectations, the app was successfully launched on prominent app stores—Google Play Store and Apple App Store—ensuring widespread accessibility to Mission College students.
Ongoing Maintenance and Updates
To continually serve our user base, updates and new features are continuualy added, driven by user feedback and technological advancements. The Go Mission app evolves to meet the dynamic needs of Mission College students, providing a seamless and indispensable tool for a successful academic journey.
