About NewDays 桌面应用程序
NewDays 是一款针对新常态工作环境的跨平台产品。自大流行开始以来，团队沟通和协作的方式发生了变化。身体互动的缺乏让员工比以往任何时候都更加孤立。因此，管理者面临着在完全虚拟的环境中领导团队的挑战。 NewDays 为管理者提供必要的工具来帮助保持团队士气、监督绩效、识别成员提出的问题以及为新员工提供指导。多次设计迭代和深入研究开发了该产品的 UX/UI。

- 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.

- 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.
