Latest Update

Want to see more details?


Let's get started with my innovative project :)

Overview I Innovative project

This project aims to enhance QQ Browser’s document management and team collaboration efficiency


through "Document Grouping" for smarter organization and

"Team Accelerator" for seamless workflow and progress tracking.

1.1 Document Grouping.

Research Process I Innovative project

2.1 User flow and competitor pros and cons

Image

2.3 System flow

Image

2.2 User scenario and journey

Image

Through analyzing user workflows and competitor tools

(Google Apps, Canva, GitHub), I identified key pain points and

potential design opportunities.

By analyzing the current challenges and the strengths and weaknesses of competitors, I created user scenarios and journeys to

step into the users' shoes.

Then, I started integrating two ideas into the QQ Browser system flow.

Problem I Innovative project

Combined with university life, I found that we often encounter these problems during our collaboration and document management.

It results..

“Wait, I am still finding the document.”

“Could you share the link?”

“Hi, is anyone working on this part? ”

..Silent 🦗

“XX can't make it to our meeting today. Can someone update him afterward?”

Switching between multiple apps for communication and collaboration.

Low alignment efficiency.

Uneven workload distribution in group projects, with some members slacking off.

Expired or outdated documents.

Lack of consensus, unclear about teammates' progress.

Solution I Innovative project

Document Grouping

It helps users generate and manage group chat-based documents more easily, making collaboration more efficient.

Exposing internal information to make document content more accessible, helping users locate files more efficiently.

Information Surfacing

Feature 1.1

QQ Browser organizes files based on WeChat conversations, automatically syncing and generating folders for better document management.

Automated Management

Feature 1.2

STEP 01

STEP 03

When users open QQ Browser, they can quickly find

their folders and the latest synced files.

Sync with the WeChat group name to enhance recognition rather than recall.

Display the newest file visually to help users locate it.

Highlight the folder to make it

easier to locate.

3.3 User Flow

Image

STEP 04

Customized tool recommendation list.

One-click save and sync document.

Tap the folder to expand and view more file details.
