Periskope Risk Register Feature
The Team
Tech Lead | 2x Front end developers | UX/UI Designer (Me!) | Dexus IT team
The Problem
The Client: Dexus
The current Risk Register feature is difficult to use, non responsive, has very little contrast and an overwhelming amount of information in one place.
My Role
To work with team and current infrastructure and find out ways to make the feature more user friendly and responsive
Work with and contribute to existing Design System
Run Design Audits
The old design for Periskope Risk Register
The Newer Design
Revised navigation, revised UI design
Design Guide
Dexus have an existing brand guide, their current design system followed principles from Material.io .Colours for the application were drawn from the existing colour palette, massaged for accessibility and incorporated into the re-design.
Tools Used
Whiteboard discussions
Balsamiq
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe XD
Challenges
Working separately from the external IT team
Establishing virtual communication through slack and documentation helped ease the communication difficulties
Multiple moving parts and request, Development aligning with the existing UI style guide
Although this wasn’t completely resolved, linking back to the overarching goal and whether ideas lined up with the user’s needs, business needs and technical constraints helped ease the pressure of incoming requests.
