In this week we were introduced to the business plan behind which we'll have to support our idea. The business plan considers our approach against various factors such as user relationship, features of our service, income and outgoing expenses to help us understand if our idea has succesful strcuture to be a successful business. .

Researching into competitors I (Kyle) searched "musicians jam/ band finder" to help identify existing channels our potential users may go to and see the local and international threats surrounding the idea of playmate. This has all been put up on basecamp which is available to be accessed here .

Going into our designing and starting to imagine the platform we started to look into websites and music related media to gain an idea of what would be expected of a music related platform in the user experience and platform. To access the basecamp account simply click on this link here and explore.

So we've started to use this platform Kyle knew about from another project that helps with team organisation and sharing documents for keeping track of others responsibility. The website is called basecamp , and our work can be accessed via this link here  https://3.basecamp.com/3573961/join/KXk7mfb4VKsi .

The first part of building a concept of a solution towards the difficulty musicians have in meeting and playing together is investigating and hearing their experience. For this we need to learn more around other musicians around wellingtons experience with playing in bands. Together as a group we've created some questions to ask towards users and venues to help us understand more around the music scene in wellington. We are hoping to do some interviews with people we know this week as well as get some answers from other people to help inform the creation of our solution.
