AI-POWERED Task management app
Make Your Life
As Simple As TChat
Project description
TChat is a startup that concentrates on a straightforward task reminder app designed for users with basic technical skills
Impact
Designed for 5000+ users, maximizing impact with limited resources.
My Role
My work involved continuously enhancing TChat's features based on user feedback. In response to the necessity for transparency and clarity in communications within the app, I conducted comprehensive research into competitor strategies and user insights.
Challenge
Market Research, User Interviews, Test, and Iterate
Finding opportunities through user interviews
74% of users across 30+ occupations struggle to track tasks with existing tools
After conducting surveys and research, it's surprising to find that project management tools are predominantly used for tracking task progress rather than project planning. This highlights an opportunity for us to delve deeper and explore new avenues beyond our MVP.
Comparing other tools, what is our strength?
Current tools offer advanced features but lack simplicity
SaaS platforms like Slack and Trello can be overly complex due to their advanced features. In tests, users quickly grasp the usage of LINE and Todoist, yet these platforms lack the transparency required for effective project status tracking.
Refocusing Key Elements for Effective Task Progress Tracking
Refocusing Key Elements for Effective Task Progress Tracking
Based on user interviews, I aim to improve task progress tracking. The interviews highlighted 3 key elements: transparency, time constraints, and consistency. After brainstorming, I decided to create a Gantt chart and monthly calendar feature to provide a simple tool for visualizing project timelines and tasks.
Quickly gain insights via a low-fi prototype
👨🏻🦽 Accessibility: Our goal is to make project management easy for everyone, but we identified that the Gantt chart feature is not currently accessible on mobile devices.
⏰ Agility: While Gantt charts are a valuable tool, some users expressed a need for more agile time scheduling options, particularly when dealing with project dependencies.
🔐 Privacy: Our user testing highlighted the importance of keeping personal projects private and the desire to control updates received on other projects.
