A design project with this many stakeholders begins with building out workflows that suit user needs.

An Interactive Flowchart

The SDLC flowchart is a navigational and orientational tool. But above all, it allows stakeholders to answer that ever present question:

"What do I need to do?"

Imagine if instead of reading through page after page, you could just access what you needed in a visual, contextualized way?

Organized Content, Optimized Search.

Columns and managed properties are use for uploading and tagging content, so the SharePoint is certain to remain healthy and useable.

That means all documents, pages, and contents are:

  • Searchable
  • Organized
  • Versioned
  • Shared Appropriately

Consistent Design Language

All pages a bound to a regular style to reinforce trustworthiness and authority of the platform.

  • Headers
  • Colour
  • Typography

Achieved through custom graphics, CSS/jQuery deployments, and edits to the Sharepoint master templates.

The client requested a comprehensive diagramming system. This was used by me and later handed off to the in-house team for the creation of flowcharts and other diagrams.
