Example of an effective diary mission
Even after you've taken a look at our guide for planning out your mission design, you might still need some inspiration! That's what we're here for. Take a look at this example mission for some help!
Mission: Voice Assistants
This mission was designed to understand how people interact with voice assistants, and what they'd like to see from future voice assistant products.
It made use of 4 of the 5 standard Dscout activity types: an inventory activity, a moments activity, an ideation activity, and a reflection activity.
Mission Details and Overview
TIP: In the mission overview, be sure to include a brief overview of the full mission and each activity. Let scouts know whether you're running an automatic or manual mission[link], and if manual, be sure to give scouts each activity's deadline as well as the overall mission deadline.
Have scouts (participants) show you everything they use, like, own, or need associated with your topic of interest.
TIP: When writing a multi-entry activity, write your questions to allow multiple responses.
Activity 2: Voice Moments (a moments activity)
Have scouts share significant moments related to your topic of interest.
TIP: When writing a multi-entry activity, write your questions to allow multiple responses.
Activity 3: Voices of Tomorrow (an ideation activity)
Have scouts ideate about the future of your topic of interest. Let them inform your product planning!
TIP: if you're using mobile activities, remember that scouts are answering your questions on their phone. Be sure to use a combination of open- and closed-ended questions to let them give their thumbs a break!
Activity 4: Voicing Concern (a reflection activity)
Have scouts think back on the subject of your mission. Often, you'll also want to ask questions related to the moments they shared: what might have gone well, or poorly, over the course of the mission.
