usability test results:problemssolutions

problem 1:participants didn't know if

they are adding a goal or an activity.

solution:increase differentiation of

goals and activities

problem 2:participants weren't able to locate the invitations bar,

thus couldn’t complete the moderate task

solution:make the invitations bar

more apparent

problem 3:participants didn't

understand what each "+" sign meant throughout the

interface.

solution:have different wording,

symbol and color to help users differentiate between adding a goal and activities.

summary of talk

revised ui designs

activities as “steps” towards goals

rationale:previously called activities

People have preconceptions for “goals” and “activities”

activities <-> goals?Focus on goals, and view

activities as steps to achieve a goal

increase in “invitations” bar visibility

rationale:we believe having it the

same color as the top bar made it significantly less

distinguishablemany participants missed

the invitations bar.

differentiation between “steps” and “goals”

rationale:participants weren’t able to

differentiate between “goals” and “activities”

before vs. after

replaced multiple “+” signs with descriptive

buttons

rationale:in previous UIs the “+” sign

was used as buttons for multiple actions

participants were confused on what each “+” sign meant

goals page redesigned to emphasize “goals” <->

“steps “

rationale:to help users understand that “steps” are part of

“goals”this concept is reinforced by

the and text presentation
