Task 2 Create an Event Level: Complex Scenario: Performed in the event where the customer wants to create an event to host Reasoning : Hosting events is currently a hassle because currently, the invitation requires extensive coordination of details such as Time Place Activity People Social Rocket takes a significant amount of the work out of planning events by putting all the information they want to know during the planning process in one place

Task 3 Rate and Review a Past Event Level: Moderate Scenario: Performed in the event where the customer wants to provide feedback to Social Rocket on how well they enjoyed an event attended or hosted with its help Reasoning : Currently, when you rate an event, venue, or restaurant, (ie. Yelp) that information is usually used again only when another person seeks it out before attending the same event Social Rocket takes the information you input about a past event to become better at finding events you will enjoy in the future
