About NewDays Desktop Aplikasyon

Ang NewDays usa ka produkto nga cross-platform alang sa bag-ong normal nga palibot sa trabaho. Ang paagi sa pagpakigsulti ug pagtinabangay sa mga team nausab sukad nagsugod ang pandemya. Ang pagkawala sa pisikal nga interaksyon nakapahimo sa mga empleyado nga labi nga wala’y koneksyon kaysa kaniadto. Ingon usa ka sangputanan, ang mga manedyer nag-atubang sa hagit sa pagpangulo sa usa ka team sa usa ka hingpit nga virtual nga kahimtang. Ang NewDays naghatag sa mga manedyer sa gikinahanglan nga mga himan aron makatabang sa pagpadayon sa moral sa team, pagdumala sa performance, pag-ila sa mga problema nga gi-flag sa mga miyembro, ug pag-orient sa bag-ong mga empleyado. Daghang mga pag-usab sa disenyo ug lawom nga panukiduki nagpalambo sa UX / UI niini nga produkto.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: NewDays is a cross-platform product for the new work environment. The absence of face-to-face workplace interactions has left employees more disconnected than ever, and managers are facing the challenge of leading a team in a completely virtual setting. NewDays provides managers with the tools to help maintain team morale, oversee performance, identify problems flagged by members, as well as onboard new employees.
Dimensions & Packaging: Cross-platform desktop application for better work environment and team's communication.
Tags: Services Design, Desktop Application, Responsive Design, User Experience, User Interface, Interaction Design, Digital Interaction
Production Technology: We used Sketch, Figma, Adobe XD, After Effect, and Miro Board to design the UX and UI of this desktop application. In addition, we used many research tools like user journey maps and service blueprints to design the experience.
Design Challenge: It was challenging to figure out the core needs for the current remote work environment. We also had to ask multiple questions to come up with our initial product idea. After we decided to set managers as target users for our product because of the product's scalability, we had to spend an extensive amount of time building the ideal user journey for our target users. Simplifying the complicated information on the interface design was also challenging.
Research: During the initial stage, we created an affinity diagram and interviewed people to understand the current work environment. We discovered many pain points that the managers were experiencing, then we went back to the group of research participants to test our low-fidelity mock-ups. We were able to gain insightful findings around its usability as well as its viability as a proof of concept. We created quick prototypes to A/B test with the group multiple times before finalizing our product design.
Inspiration: The ways in which teams communicate and work together have changed a lot since the pandemic began. As the new environment brought both advantages and disadvantages, the current methods we use have some difficulties for managers to have an overview, encourage each team member, and to onboard new remote employees. Considering the various remote work environment stress points, we designed a cross platform that would solve problems mentioned above in the current process.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2021 through remote collaboration. It is an ongoing process with updates depending on new needs.
Operation Flow: The home page dashboard is where managers can see things that need their attention. Welcome cards are collaborative cards that are shareable within the team. The project pages display an overview of where the project is at and the timeline the team member needs help with. There is also a section dedicated for resources relevant to the project space that helps transition work more efficiently. The kudos page highlights team's performances throughout their week in a more informal way.
