I crafted a clear user story and flow chart to guide the design process. These deliverables ensured that user needs were clearly defined and seamlessly integrated into the dashboard’s workflow. My user story ultimately helped drive my flow chart and simplified what used to be something complex and redundant. 

After creating the first version of my flow chart,  I ran into an issue where I had a system that was overly complex for the scope of the project. To work through this I spoke with my professor who gave me critical feedback which helped me reframe the goal of my user and reduce the number of steps in my flow chart from 14 to 5.
