The Journey
Doesn't
Stop Here

Plan
We identified the target audience, focusing on music enthusiasts, artists, and event organizers. We defined the key features, such as event listings, artist profiles, music samples, and ticket booking. We created a prioritized product backlog and planned the first sprint to focus on the most critical features.

Design
We designed wireframes and mockups for key pages, including the homepage, event page, and artist profiles. We used tools like Figma to build interactive prototypes that showcased the user flow and design. We gathered feedback from stakeholders and refined the design to ensure it aligned with the vision.

Iterate
We developed core features in iterative sprints, starting with the event calendar and music player. We tested the functionality and usability with real users to identify pain points and areas for improvement. We fixed bugs and iterated on the design and features based on user feedback.

Deliver
We deployed the website and monitored its performance using analytics tools. We gathered user feedback to identify additional features or improvements needed. We planned future sprints to enhance the website, adding new features and refining the user experience.
