Here is how you as a UX Designer can centralize feedback, manage design iterations, and streamline collaboration using Kanban task management in Google Workspace. Improve your workflow today.
Meet Cole, a UX designer at Stellar Labs. He's responsible for making sure their SaaS product, a complex project management platform, is both powerful and intuitive for users. Initially, Cole tried managing his own workflow using a combination of sticky notes, spreadsheets, and various design tools. The chaos quickly escalated:
The result? Missed deadlines, inconsistent designs, and a growing sense of frustration. That's when Cole discovered Kanban Tasks, a Chrome extension that integrates seamlessly with his Google Workspace. It gave him a visual, centralized hub for managing his entire UX workflow—all within the familiar Google environment.
Kanban isn't just for developers. It's a powerful visual system that helps UX designers like Cole:
Visualize the Design Process: See all your tasks, from user research to prototyping, laid out in clear columns. This provides a bird's-eye view of the entire design process, making it easier to track progress and identify bottlenecks.
Manage Multiple Projects: Juggling multiple projects? Create separate Kanban boards for each, keeping everything organized and preventing tasks from getting mixed up.
Prioritize User Feedback: Integrate user feedback directly into your workflow. Attach user research findings, usability test results, and design iterations to specific tasks. This keeps all relevant information in one place, making it easier to iterate and improve designs.
Cole starts by bringing order to his user research:
Pro Tip: Use tags to categorize user research by project, user segment, or research method. This allows for easy filtering and retrieval of information.
