Project Overview

Designing Taskia was a big challenge. I was started my career as a full-time freelancer and I was looking for a mobile app that will give me the feeling that I have control of my all project on one device. I used some good project management tools web version and mobile version also. But I feel the mobile version can be more effective and detailed. I was thinking to research and design an app as I want and after doing Freelancing and Job for a couple of years I found the chance to give the shape of my idea.

Challenge

Taskia was not described in detail. It was really hard to make all points perfectly. But I did it, after working a few weeks so hard I found some design challenges and also problems where I can work and make this app happen. I downloaded the best project management mobile app and start doing research. I found some important points where I focused more and tried to make a people-friendly app not the only user. Anyone can easily use this app if they don’t have previous experience using any project management tool.

Process

Making the hand notes and listing the features was my first process in starting this app design. In Taskia I follow some steps to complete the project one time with good output.

Idea Generation

In this step, I took notes on paper and listed the features which I wanted to add to this app.

Research

Started researching, Compared exciting apps and tools, and talked with users about more room.

Develop

In the 3rd stage, I started developing my idea visual. I started with making a design system and end with the prototype.

Deliver

Now, here I am ready to deliver the app for testing or development.

Key Research

Researching is the most important thing for any product. Without good research, I was unable to get the right ideas that I can apply to make this app. This is the reason I focused on researching and I did this in 2 parts.

Results of key research

Need an app that will offer people to use in a very easy way without asking for long details.
Something related to the people not for users only. I believe everyone in this world is not the same so we need an app that will relate to everyone not only users.

Need some important features to be added to make assignee or employer life easy and fast.
Checking deadlines and following them is really important. Indeed to implement this function as well.
After comparing other apps and using them for a long time many users want to have some features where they can add their points and do any customization.

Ideation Sketches

After completing my idea, user interview, and other research I started doing back sketches with paper and pen to define the idea in detail and compare them. These are my 2nd step of work to deep drive in this project. I wrote the points where I really indeed to work and extra focus.

Wireframing

This is another step in making this project real. After making the paper sketch, I was able to refine the sketches a bit more by translating 6em into wireframes on Adobe XD. This helps me to understand better and feel how the app would look. Actually, It was a great step where I was able to focus more and doing adjustments and be more details in regards to how the app will look.
