Main pain points the 10 participants from my group interview highlighted.

1

Overestimation or Underestimation of Time

People often misjudge how long tasks will take, leading to unrealistic schedules, missed deadlines, or wasted time.

2

Difficulty Prioritizing Tasks

With multiple responsibilities, it’s challenging to decide what to focus on first, leading to procrastination or working on less important tasks.

3

Unexpected Changes

Strict schedules don’t account for unexpected interruptions, energy levels, or changing priorities, making it difficult to stay on track.

challenges:
original user flow

Initially, I was given a user flow by the developers as a guide for my designs. However, with such minimal detail, it created a gap in my communication with the developers and the wireframes they were looking for.

Inclusivity

Removing employee ID makes the app accessible to freelancers and students.

User Experience

Adding on-boarding enhances the user experience.

Managing Design Efforts

Google Authentication handles sign-in, reducing design effort.

key takeaways

This competition significantly expanded my design skills because of how many features I had to design in such a short period of time. I had to be resourceful with my time and push myself out of my comfort zone to bring A.I TimeKeeper to life.


This competition pushed me out of my comfort zone to improve the way I validate my design changes, create design systems, and merge visual design with UX/UI.

working with devs

next steps…

I want to conduct more user testing and shift the web app's purpose, to focus on the influence of the mood tracker and the way schedules are retried and organized in A.I Timekeeper. In addition, if I get the chance to add these changes to implementation, figure the logic on how the 'Task of the Day' is determined.
