To gather pain points, feedback, and suggestions, we conducted user interviews.
“The responsive version doesn’t display all the information properly, which makes it hard to navigate.”
“The online meeting tools are frustrating to use. It’s hard to schedule or join meetings smoothly.”
“I really need to understand the relationship and flow between each class.”
I’d love a way to explore other coaches or courses that fit my interests.”
“I want an easier way to track my progress.”
“It’s hard to keep up with lessons—I wish everything was in one place.”
“Right now, it’s too complicated with a lot of unrelated sources.”
“Accessing the syllabus on the CRM is confusing and not clearly formatted.”
“It's hard to find what I need, and I end up having to ask my mentor directly just to get clearer, quicker instructions."

Kanban-Style Working Board
01
We introduced a visual, drag-and-drop board to help users manage learning tasks across stages like To Do, In Progress, and Completed.
Users tap the “+” button to quickly create a new task card. They can then expand the card to add details such as description, dates, participants, and attachments for quick, organized task management.
Users can select a lesson, view details like meeting time and resources, and confirm or reschedule attendance—streamlining management and preparation.
We explored two calendar concepts to assess clarity and usability. Testing showed Concept B offered a cleaner, more balanced layout that improved focus and scalability.
Bold color coding clearly differentiates event types.
Large calendar cells improve tap accuracy and visibility.
Overly bright colors create visual noise and distraction.
Bulky layout takes up too much vertical space.
Limited scalability for smaller screens.
Concept A
Soft color guide focus without overwhelming users.
Compact design allows better adaptability.
Improved whitespace creates a calmer, modern interface.
Clean layout enhances readability and visual balance.
Smaller tap targets slightly reduce ease of interaction.
Concept B
Users can select a lesson, view details like meeting time and resources, and confirm or reschedule attendance —streamlining class management and preparation.
