Details

BoardSpace, a company specializing in board management software, aims to enhance user experience by improving existing features. The goal of this project is to design working prototypes of these feature improvements using Figma, a popular design tool. Learners will be tasked with identifying key areas for enhancement based on user feedback and industry best practices. The project will involve creating wireframes, interactive prototypes, and user interface designs that align with BoardSpace's brand guidelines. This project offers an excellent opportunity for learners to apply their knowledge of UI/UX design, user research, and prototyping tools in a real-world context.



Key objectives include:


- Identifying and prioritizing feature improvements.


- Designing wireframes and interactive prototypes.


- Ensuring designs align with BoardSpace's brand guidelines.


- Incorporating user feedback into the design process.

Deliverables

The deliverables for this project will include:


- A set of wireframes for the proposed feature improvements.


- Interactive prototypes created using Figma.


- A design presentation that outlines the rationale behind the improvements and how they enhance user experience.
