Daptiv Task and Time Management (TTM)

Organizations squander $122 million for every $1 billion invested due to poor project performance. A recent Project Management Institute (PMI) survey of nearly 3,000 project management professionals and executives revealed that inaccurate time and task management is the leading cause of project failure at least 28 percent of the time. And with more people working away from their offices and computers, time and task tracking is becoming more cumbersome and imprecise.

I joined as a Senior Designer with the Daptiv product team to solve this problem and to change the behavior and activity of task management, time entry, and timesheet submission experience. As a product, Daptiv was currently going through a brand refresh to align itself within the Changepoint product offerings.

Day in life of a team member

Sketched out this storyboard after previous customer site visits by the Product Owners and UX Manager. This served as our problem statement of our customers current daily challenges entering timesheets.

Future Day in life of a team member

Sketched out this storyboard in collaboration from the previous Product Owner and UX Manager. During their research, they realized an opportunity of changing the behavior and activity of inputing time with a mobile first solution. The business decided it was feasable to go with a responsive site vs. naive app due to it's quicker development and go to market strategy. Product hypothesized this experience would simplify time and task management for team members anytime, anywhere.

TTM UI Sketches

The product owner vetted and provided a wish list of potential features we could potentially have in our product. The UX Manager and I conducted design sprints to extrapulate the business requirements into a potential UI. My initial sketches served as the genesis to what TTM and other Daptiv products that are today.

TTM Wireframe Set 1

I took my initial sketches and iterated into this early set of wireframes. Originally, this product was also going to include a Task List and Kanban Board. Unfortunately, our minimum viable product (MVP) filtered those decisions for future projects and we kept it to a very easy and straight forward time entry product.

TTM Wireframe Set 2

A new product owner joined our project while the structure developent was in flight. His contributions prioritized the original feature list and steered the project back for success.

TTM Visual Concepts

Selected UI concepts of the responsive experience as our development team was developing it's new code base.

TTM Features after public release

After the launch of TTM in June 2016 – getting a broad range of customer feedbacks set our course provided additional customer stories. Additional functionality, performance, and aesthetics were some of the significant strides for the TTM product to adopt more customers through current PPM users and new customers.
