Goal of this project was to enhance the UI of the dashboard. Current state of the UI was not meeting the expectations of the end users and no UX "principles" or "best practices" were taking in consideration in the development process.
During the discovery phase I began to familiarize myself with the users or in this case the potential clients that would purchase the software and customize it to their needs. This included sitting in on demo meetings and gathering feedback from users who sat through demo's or purchased the actual software.
Current State
After reviewing notes from previous demo's and speaking with stakeholders the main problem to be solved was to display the data in a clear and approachable way. By understanding who the audience is we can design the UI to answer there direct needs.
After gathering information from research and discussing business requirements with the client. I can begin my task flows and wire-framing
This task flow will help me understand the current task flow and where the areas of opportunities are.

Working on this project I was reminded how important research is yet again. Understanding the business goals a little clearer.In that discovery phase asking ALL the questions I have no matter how irrelevant it may seem.
