In the initial user interviews, three main goals surfaced: 1. Clear up availability comprehension 2. Get PM’s to think “outside the box” 3. Emphasize social element Action steps: 1. Instigate color coding 2. Add tagging system 3. Incorporate “Dream Projects” and “Dream People”

Midpoint Testing At the midway point I decided to run a second series of interviews to get feedback on three major issues: 1. Intrinsic color value 2. Test hyperlinking theory 3. Gage mobile interest

Mobile Application After the midpoint interviews it was clear that mobile was beneficial, but editing capabilities were not paramount. It became clear that the application had but two purposes: 1. View your own hours 2. View the hours of others The main target for the application was group leads and those in managerial roles. Practitioners did not have the same sense of urgency and typically waited until in the office to view resourcing. Goal: Grant access to vital resourcing information in as few clicks as possible.

The Newsfeed Concept Inspired by the newsfeed concept popularized by Facebook, the application gives users instant access to the resourcing information they are looking upon entering. From this centralized dashboard, navigation can lead to deeper levels of information as is needed.
