Summary

During a summit in CancĂșn, the UX team conducted workshops to brainstorm and design a smart project dashboard by utilizing an adapted version of the Google Ventures Design Sprint process. The primary goal was to create a tool that reflects the status of a project throughout its lifecycle while ensuring that relevant information is accessible to both familiar and unfamiliar users. The team followed a structured ideation process using the Four-Step Sketch, which included individual note-taking, rapid idea generation through Crazy 8s, solution sketching with storyboards, and a silent critique session. This approach encouraged quick idea generation and collaborative evaluation, leading to the emergence of several potential solutions and common ideas for the new dashboard design. The workshop concluded with a collection of ideas and an invitation for further contributions and feedback as the team continues to develop the dashboard.
