Designing TehNusa Mobile Based Application Using Design Sprint Method

Abstract

Indonesia is a country where most of the population work in the agricultural and plantation sectors. Both sectors are significant for the economy of Indonesia because it contributes to the increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Such as the tea plantation sub-sector, which is one of the export commodities in Indonesia. However, several problems occur to the tea farmers in Indonesia. These problems influence decreasing in tea quality and farmers' welfare in Indonesia. For that reason, TehNusa is created to help solve the issues. TehNusa can be utilized to buy and sell harvested or processed tea. Another hand, TehNusa also has other functions to develop the quality and ability of the community in caring for and managing processed tea. Another side, BUMDes will play a role by managing and developing village prospects and tea farmers to minimize gaps. The design of the TehNusa application is created using the design sprint methodology and for the design validation, we're using the system usability scale methodology. The design of the TehNusa application can be made within 40 working hours, and the test result of design validation gets a conclusion of 81 points or equivalent to grade B. The TehNusa application is rated by users as being able to help make it easier to solve problems. In addition, further research needs to be carried out to determine the implementation of making applications and building business cooperation with BUMDes in Indonesian villages that have skilled farmers and have the potential to become processed tea producers.
