Problem statement & the process

Defining the problem we're solving

Problem

Users are spending an unnecessary amount of time adding, editing and deleting collaborators due to the page's composition.

The main concern was that each collaborator would be added and appear multiple times rather than consolidating into a table row per role. Some customers would have more than 1500 rows in this table.

The solution

The solution reduces the friction when adding, editing and deleting collaborators as well as consolidating each role into it's own table row.

A quick brainstorm

After a couple conversations with a customer and their admin, I collated my notes and started the following:

  • Empathy mapping
  • Current vs future concept (text based for IA purposes)
  • Wireframing ideas

Prototype

I created components to use in the proposed solution then created a prototype to test.

Testing & Feedback

I interviewed 4 customers and 1 internal stakeholder to validate my solution.

Customer / User feedback

Overall they liked the consolidation of site permissions under one role.

Time on task

Their time on task will be significantly lower when making changes.

Customer / user feedback

Mentioned that they would like to see the address of where a site is located.

Customer / user feedback

Mentioned that they would like to filter by site / state.

Updates based on feedback

The updates that came out of testing were implemented as a slight improvement of the overall solution.

Final Product

I'm not too sure anything can top the feeling when all your hard work is display, check out some screenshots below

Future considerations

The solution outlined is only the start of the journey. I have proposed this concept as a future enhancement to further consolidate collaborators.
