Requirements Draft

Main Goals

  • Establish core user profile and security credentials efficiently.
  • Deliver high-relevance course recommendations rapidly to achieve an immediate "time-to-value" and first win.
  • Minimize friction with clear skip options and progressive disclosure.

Core Requirements & Enhancements

  1. Account Setup & Authentication
    • First & Last Name
    • Email (with strict regex format validation and uniqueness check)
    • Authentication
      • Consider password vs modern alternatives (e.g., magic link / token-based auth option to reduce drop-off).
  2. Team & Manager Confirmation
    • Team Name
    • Manager Name & Position
    • If not coming in from a company referral, skip.
  3. Recommendation & Personalization Setup
    • Section should be skippable
    • Career Intent
      • Options: Grow in current role, pivot to a new position, or prepare for a promotion.
    • Topics of Interest
      • Multi-select category tags to filter and sort the course catalog.
    • Expertise Level
      • Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced (sorts course difficulty).
    • Time Commitment
      • Preferred session lengths (e.g., quick bursts vs. deep dives) to sort course formats.
  4. Quick Recommendations
  5. Display up to 6 curated courses matching user selections.
  6. Fallback Logic: If the personalization step is skipped, display the platform's top-performing/most popular courses.
  7. Immediate CTA: Direct one-click enrollment or bookmarking into the selected course.

Second Pass Functional Requirements

  1. Role-Based Branching
  2. Add an initial micro-segmentation step to route users dynamically (e.g., Individual Learner vs. Team Manager/Admin).
  3. Accessibility & Compliance
  4. Ensure full keyboard navigation (Tab/Shift+Tab, Enter/Space), visible focus states, and WAI-ARIA compliant form labels for screen readers.
  5. Success Metrics / Analytics Tracking
  6. Track drop-off rates per step, wizard completion rate, and click-through rate (CTR) on recommended courses to optimize the flow post-launch.
