CHALLENGES & GOALS
- We needed to create a new unite system suitable for all employees, managers and directors which will include all necessary things from their work routine patterns, be convenient and consistent
- Everything must be coordinated within a team of six designers
CLIENT
Leading payroll and HR services provider in Europe
TEAM
Middle designer (me) in a team of 6 designers and art director
MY ROLE
Researching, prototyping, UX and UI designing, interaction and coordination with other designers. I was responsible for the 'To do', 'Event approval', 'Time report approval' sections design for mobile and tablets.
I was responsible for creating a logical and user-friendly process for handling day-to-day work tasks such as time tracking and events or expanses approval for over 400 people.
UNDERSTANDING THE PROBLEM
Before Atro began mobile product they already had a desktop application for their clients, but it looked difficult and old-fashioned. Management wanted the new product be more convenient and modern, so they can attract new customers and make more profit.
My research encompassed:
- Understanding the user goals and needs
- Uncovering pain points with the existing user journey
- Determining the success of the tasks measured
DEVELOPING THE DESIGN
I worked towards addressing these pains by coming up with potential solutions:
- Reducing the number of steps to minimise time to completion
- Establishing clearer visual form hierarchy by grouping related fields
I constantly communicated within the team and I worked very closely with the Front End team to spec out any missing interactions that were not covered in the high fidelity mockups. Every week I prepared a presentation to the Atro's art director about the work I had done.
REFLECTION
Working in an early-stage mobile application was an extremely steep learning curve. It was an eye-opening experience that taught me a lot about being lean and knowing when and where to focus your energy and efforts. Our team work really hard and we managed to deliver a quality and user-friendly product to Atro and their clients.
