Your organization may have standards that you follow that help inform how you’ll design your solution. Easily work with your teammates without complicating single-player use.View your projects grouped by Todoist sections by default.The ability to drag and drop tasks wherever you need to.A simple view that maintains the simplicity of Todoist.With a problem to solve, we typically try to clarify the goals for the product, which we’ll refer back to throughout the process:
#Todoist boards update#
Step 2: Set clear goals and parameters for the update We agreed to investigate a solution to this problem, which meant coming up with a significant new feature that wouldn’t get in the way of what people already loved about Todoist. While we were able to use filters and labels to stay organized, Todoist didn’t offer a straightforward solution to track the status of a task or progress of a project. On a project level, people were missing an effective way to visualize their progress and reorganize tasks as the project evolved.Īt Doist, we felt this pain ourselves as we work in small teams that collaborate on specific projects from 1-3 months at a time.For example, it’d be nice to know if a task was in the New, In Progress, or Done stage. When working with tasks, people didn’t have a way to track the different stages that a task goes through as it’s worked on.For example, our problem statements for Boards looked like this: These details help us clarify what the designs should achieve. Our product spec is often made up of the following structure: We use the document as a starting point for our design solution. It helps us define the problem that our feature is trying to solve. With each new major feature, we start off by creating a product spec document to be shared internally. Step 1: Define the problem you’re trying to solve Let’s dive in and look at our design learnings and practices along the way, and how you can apply these lessons to your own products. In this article I’ll share my learnings from our design process, starting from the problem, defining our goals, early design iterations, feedback and research that led our design decisions all the way to shipping our final feature. Boards is a new card-based view that allows you to switch from Todoist’s traditional task list view to a kanban-style column view. In this guide, I’ll walk you through designing a feature for an existing product with a passionate user base using our recent release of a new board view as an example. How do you make design decisions that move your product forward to appeal to a wider audience without alienating your current user base?Īt Doist, the product design team works through these challenges each time we make a change to Todoist-a to-do list app that 25 million people rely on every day to keep their lives organized.
