Mic Runner will have four teams. The management team consists of the project manager and chief architect. The participant team is responsible for the web page for participants (i.e., audience members). They will handle both the audio input and web page. The quality team ensures UI/UX consistency across pages and general product quality. Furthermore, they will coordinate product design decisions to reflect real-world needs and/or wants, collecting feedback from real-world testers. The presenter team is responsible for the web page for presenters. They will coordinate the communication between the participant peer and the presenter peer, working closely with the participant team to define the communication interface. Both web page teams have a research member who will focus on issues that will likely be pertinent to the respective pages.
