New direction

After conducting a user test, the project was temporarily put on hold. Later, it was resumed, and the team regrouped to review the design and development work that had been done and identify areas for improvement based on the feedback from the user test.

The research findings showed that most users (85.7%) visit their offices mainly for meetings. In addition, most IBM offices had reopened at the time, and reserving a desk was optional in many offices. The policy was first come, first served. Therefore, the team decided to switch to reserving meeting rooms instead. I created a new basic flow for reserving a meeting room, and then we developed a new timeline.

Switch from iOS system to React Native

As the lead designer for this project, I was designing new wireframes to reserve a meeting room for iOS users. However, the design department decided to switch from iOS to React Native for all the company's native apps. This change meant that we could now develop for Android users as well. As a result, both the design and development work had to be redone. To accommodate this change, I needed to refactor the design with our new IBM Carbon design system.
