To start our collaborative project with Virgin Wines, my group nominated me to take the lead due to my organisation with our boards and task management. Because of this I started by creating Miro Board for weekly targets and tasks which have and haven’t been completed.
The first Miro Board allows group members to follow weekly targets that include post-its of tasks. This is presented to show what we would ideally like to get done per week during this project. This includes deadlines for our research and design work in order to be ready for our client presentation.
After this we began with our generative research board to investigate Virgin Wines further, enabling us to achieve the best designs possible due to ideas having deeper meanings from our clear understanding of the brand from our extensive research.
This board is sectioned into eight categories, identifying heuristic markups, domain, industry and statistical research, user interviews, competitor reviews and finally initial re-designing of Virgin Wines. Before starting this research we discussed each others strengths and weaknesses when completing an UX project. Majority of our group disliked research and struggle to go into depth with it and instead believed their strengths were designs. Therefore, through the use of this Miro board I separated tasks across the group to allow everyone to do their part in the project, however giving less research based tasks to those who are better with design. With this in mind, my idea was for Sihina, Hashry and Dom to start the design part of our project by working on sketches as they worked parallel to others who continued with the research .
Throughout our time completing the generative research, tasks changed due to the change in personal schedules and lack of work being completed the further we went along in the project. This lead to no sketches in the initial week apart from myself and only part of the heuristic markups complete.
This resulted in our designs being produced later than we originally hoped as we passed our weekly targets we created at the start of this project. Because of this, I ended up doing more research then intended as it needed to be completed and so the image above demonstrates the final look of what tasks were done vs ones which weren’t as we reached our client presentation.
