Major Project -Travel Kaki- Task 1-Task 3

Progression

Week 1: Briefing & Task Arrangement

We proceed Major 2 with initial Major Project 1 member Jun Jie, Shawn, and Wei Yi and continue to further execute Travel Kaki app. We have and physical and online subject briefing for this week. During physical class, as all my are time clash with exchange program and other class time schedule, I consult alone with UI/UX supervisors, Dr.Wong, Mr.Shamsul and Mr.Razif.

As Mr. Shamsul suggested us to include booking feature or AI auto book feature in our app, we holds different opinions as some think internal booking makes the app complicated, while redirecting to other booking app will increase other app’s usage instead of boosting our app’s usage, we decided to do research on booking flow before we make decision. 

We realised that the find travel buddy feature is important as it is also one of our MVP in the initial plan, we had to create a new flow and screen for it. Need to add user verification steps on sign up flow.

We found our Lo-Fi still needs more polish and realistic content. The UI kit and component have to be set up before starting the high fidelity to maintain consistency. 

I created a timeline to make sure progress are on track. 

This week

Week 2 - UI Component & Hi-Fi Execution

After consulted with Mr. Shamsul and Dr. Wong, they suggested adding a new flow for finding travel buddies during a trip. Based on this, we decided to execute our connect feature.

Week 3 - Hi-Fi Refinement

This week I did not assign new task as most of the week 2 task need further refinement and all of us are busy for CNY celebrations. We decided to meet next week and continue to work on current task.

I continue to refine the Planning flow by studying AI chat behaviour and flow. I also added comment in Figma file for areas of improvement. This comment allows me to track where need to improve easily. As I go through the file, there are many inconsistency happened around although the UI component was set. 

Week 4 - Animation & Prototype Linking

This week, we focus on Animation and prototype linking. All members are good at prototype linking, so I decided to assign them with animation and prototype task, and I work on consistency management and badge illustrations.

3. REFLECTION

Experience

During the entire project duration, I carried out research on AI trends, AI chat flow structures, and affiliate programs. During the execution phase, my primary responsibility was trip planning flow. I always consulted my interview findings and user needs in order to ensure that my solutions were relevant. I also took on the role of project management, where I set project timelines, allocated tasks, and scheduled meetings with my team. Although we did not meet physically often due to time conflicts, we were able to communicate effectively using online communication channels. This experience enabled me to work effectively in a team in a remote team setting.

Observation

I realized that for there to be consistency in a team, there needs to be a design system in place. From a team perspective, differences in design styles and working methods became apparent. For instance, team members had different visual and file organisation styles, leading to inconsistencies in components, layout, and design systems. It was a challenge to align various design preferences, such as corner radius, shadow styles, and auto layout, but it was important for the development of a consistent user interface. I discover the use of Figma Variables in the latter stages of the project but due to initial set up already taken, we did not explore further for this feature, as the set up process is quite rigid which might be wasting time at that stage to reapply all the variable styles. 

Findings

This was my first experience in a UI/UX design project, and I learned a lot from it, especially in the areas of project coordination and file management. Althoug our app have address needs for different users, there are still rooms of improvements on ideation and monetising strategy. From a leadership perspective, I realized that I was a micromanager, chasing on all details, which made the process tiring , as I had to handle all the responsibilities of the project at the same time. I realized that I needed to improve my delegation skills and leadership strategies. This was a valuable learning experience, as I was able to learn a lot from it, including my weaknesses and strengths. Lastly, thank you to my teammates for all the collaboration and support in team, it was an interesting experience to work with them.
