A comprehensive project management platform for research teams that streamlines collaboration, task tracking, and data management across complex scientific workflows.
Research teams were struggling to manage complex, iterative experiments across multiple team members. Scientists needed to track tasks, share data, collaborate on results, and maintain detailed records throughout lengthy research processes. The existing tools were fragmented, forcing teams to use multiple systems that didn't communicate with each other.
We conducted extensive user research with scientists, lab technicians, and project managers to understand their workflows. Through contextual inquiries and interviews, we identified the need for a unified system that could handle iterative experimental processes while maintaining clear task dependencies and data provenance.
We mapped out the complex workflows that research teams navigate, identifying how tasks flow through multiple iterations and how team members collaborate at different stages. This multilevel view became central to our design approach.
The dashboard provides at-a-glance visibility into all active projects, task status, recent activity, and team collaboration. Project managers can quickly identify bottlenecks and incomplete tasks across multiple concurrent projects.
The detailed task view allows team members to see all relevant information in one place: task dependencies, file attachments, discussion threads, and completion status. This eliminated the need to switch between multiple tools.
Research generates vast amounts of data and files. We designed a comprehensive search system that allows users to find exactly what they need across projects, tasks, files, and metadata with advanced filtering capabilities.
The unified platform dramatically improved daily workflows for research teams, reducing the time spent switching between systems and increasing collaboration across team members.
