INTRODUCTION PROJECT BACKGROUND
WORKFLOWS AND WIREFRAMES
Co-founders Vera and Jorge want to enhance the features and functionality of their simple to-do list and reminder app, ReminderX. UX Practitioner, Allison Pittler will assist Vera and Jorge in taking ReminderX to the next level.
This phase of the project involves sketching workflows and wireframes for the next release of the ReminderX application.
This UX services for this project are being provided by Allison Pittler for the optimization of the ReminderX application. In response to the request by Vera of ReminderX, Allison is responsible for following tasks: • Pinpoint the target market for ReminderX • Determine the needs of the users • Develop solutions to problems
A workflow illustrates what tasks users want to accomplish and how the design allows them to reach their goal. Wireframes plan and illustrate how the application is intended to behave.

REVIEW
Design Tenets
MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE:
Give users the option to choose their preferred layout and entry method. Most likely, the users already have a preferred method for reminders. What works for some, won't for others. Since schedules vary immensely, it is important for users to have the option to choose –and change their minds! Same goes for their reminder/to-do list entry method.
DON'T JUST RECORD, ENCOURAGE: Motivate users with rewards. Track success and improvement.
It is important that the users see first-hand that ReminderX is helping them with time management and organization. Design for success they can see. Give them access to their completed tasks and breakdowns of how their time management has improved.
DON'T STRESS ME OUT, HELP ME:
Don't bombard users with alerts and information they don't want. Allow the users to determine how when and how often they would like to be reminded. If they prefer to turn off alerts for past-due reminders/tasks, give them that option. Give them the capability to snooze work alerts after work hours. Ensure the user can distinguish between categories of tasks/lists.
THE LESS I HAVE TO DO, THE BETTER: Design for integration with email, social media, and other applications.
Ease of use is key. Design the application to feel essentially effortless. Allow for seamless integration into the users' lives. Allow the user to select text and from anywhere on the web and create a task/reminder. Give them the ability to sync reminders from email/other applications to ReminderX automatically.
