Contextual Inquiry:
- Observed users interacting with dashboards in their workflows.
- Identified patterns in accessing and performing actions across pages
User Interviews:
- Conducted interviews to understand users’ expectations for accessing actions.
- Explored frustrations with inconsistent or redundant action placements.
Surveys:
- Prototyped consolidated action bar designs and tested with users.
- Measured task completion times, error rates, and satisfaction.
Competitive Analysis:
- Reviewed action bar implementations in other tools (e.g., Google Workspace, Jira).
- Identified successful approaches and usability challenges.
