Formation of the concept of the internal product, search for a business model
About the project
An internal cloud service for monitoring the status of corporate construction projects and facilities. The target audience is executives who need an overview of the project portfolio and specific on-site status, broken down by contractor and task. It automates problem alerts, decomposes issues into local and global ones, and consolidates data into a single catalog. A separate companion project, DASH1, is a dashboard for the status and progress of repairs at facilities.
The situation at the start
1.
The interface concept has been formulated in general terms and is being refined as we go.
2.
There is no full-cycle development team
3.
Decision makers are unavailable for feedback; there is no dialogue
3.
Cutting into small sprints and OKRs allows for flexible task planning

Effect
1.
Conceptual model
The core of the — project is data decomposition and cross-project problem signals. In addition to signal navigation, I defined interface constraints, breaking it down into three levels and a linear navigation structure.
•
Signal navigation simplifies problem source identification, as all data is aggregated and displayed in the interface at higher levels. It's possible to quickly navigate from an investment project to a specific problem at a construction site with a specific subcontractor.
•
It's immediately clear where to place new features and requirements, which saves time on decision-making.
•
The product has a clear and simple concept that can be explained in a minute.
•
The product is easy to present to management and, as a result, find a budget for further development

Organizing a space for team work
In Figma, I organized files using a system that works well for multiple designers and structured the team's workflow by assigning responsibilities to each designer.
From the very beginning, I built my work in Figma on a component base.
From the very beginning, I built my work in Figma on a component base.
•
The distributed remote team worked effectively, increasing or decreasing the workload as needed.
•
Project scalability: from the prototype to the target version, the layouts evolved, there were no refactoring costs
3.
Design layouts
I developed the overall look and feel of the product, taking into account corporate branding. I designed key user scenarios across all three interface levels. I developed the concept for the DASH1 project, a satellite for monitoring repair status at facilities.
•
Layouts in the target format are available to businesses at the click of a button
•
Supporting corporate branding and the right degree of innovation allowed for effective product presentations to management
•
Widgets allow you to scale and assemble dashboards with a set of data for a specific task.
•
Easy to use on large touch panels thanks to navigation located at the bottom
4.
Widgets
The interface is built on a widget system. I designed the core widgets for situation monitoring and developed a system for developing new ones. Each widget has compact, normal, and full-screen sizes.
•
Widgets allow you to scale and assemble dashboards with a set of data for a specific task.
•
The user receives the necessary data detail and grouping upon request, from a general overview to a specific breakdown by contractor group, finances, types of work, etc.
