Personas

Created 3 different personas and they are potential users to interact with “Automated Feedback System” for Post Office in near future.


Persona 1

Persona 2

Persona 3

Feedback Workflow - Current

Feedback System Analysis

I analysed 6 competitor's current feedback systems that are available online, I listed their pros and cons, I also listed elements for card sorting.

Another 3 competitors listed here, with their pros and cons I summarised in details.

Prioritisation

There are 31 tasks I need to go through for 3 users (Customers/Staffs/ Headquarter), I prioritise them into high, medium and low tasks.

Cart Sort

Here are 3 User Feedback Card Sorting Results, requesting them to allocate the cards in any order that they believe it should be correct. There is no right or wrong answers

User 1

User 2

User 3

Pin Up

Combine User feedback, Staff feedback, Feedback sytem analysis into one board to visualise what I need to be included for “Automated Feedback System”.

Summary from Pin ups

After a card sorting and pin up, I created goals for 3 users, headquarter, staffs and customers.

Iterations from User Testing

After a persona usertestings, I've discovered a few more improvements I can add before we launch the platform.

Final Designs

Goals and Next Steps

I added some notes for next steps of this project here. I am still getting feedback from users at this moment to analyse what we can improve further.

I've learnt so much potentials of post feed and now it is currently in place for experimenting. With my 12 years of experience in UX designs, I've suggested following new features should be added to the future version of post feed.

Short-term goal

The design is currently work with server and it links to the multiple pages. (e.g. for Admin, overview, feedback, analytics and campaigns) now developer team says we should create a single platform that contains all of the page in one place for ease of maintain. Search engine needs to be added for searching what admin and staff want.

Long-term goal

We discovered it sometimes becomes unstable to load the pages with no reason, if we could create a platform again, we will spend more time on stand-alone app to maintaint the stability Solution to the offline mode needs to be developed.


Next Versions

Like I mentioned on a long term goal, it will be created as a stand alone app and handle all of the data individually offline and then add a button to reflect a live mode and swtich to offline mode and it needs to be done seamlessly, it will be an app for mobile and desktop users with less frastration to the users who do not have access to the internet. Cloud mode needs to be investigated for next version, currenly it only works with live mode and central server, it always needs to be conneted online. AI intergrations can be implemented in many places such as “search engine”, “help and support” pages. Those solutions are more popular in recent years.

Usability

Every pop up menus and the page navigations are appearing and diappearing instantly at this moment, Further more detailed animation are required to improve the usability of the platform.
