Role: Lead Designer
Timeline: 2014-2016
Overview: Do was a platform aimed at helping people run productive meetings and foster a work environment that people love. The service was eventually acquired by Amazon and subsequently closed. During my tenure as the lead designer, I oversaw all aspects of the design process for Do's web, iOS, and watch applications.
Task: Enhancing Meeting Productivity with Do's Features
Do aimed to enhance meeting productivity and collaboration by providing a range of features designed to streamline the meeting process and improve communication among participants. These features included:
Quick Messaging: Users could quickly send messages to meeting participants via email. This feature allowed for various communication needs, such as confirming a meeting, requesting an agenda, or sending custom messages. Efficient communication helped ensure that everyone was on the same page before, during, and after the meeting.
Followup Meeting Scheduling: Scheduling follow-up meetings was made easy with Do. The platform automatically created a follow-up meeting with all existing context, making it convenient for participants to continue discussions or address action items from previous meetings.
Agenda Creation and Sharing: Users could create and share meeting agendas with all participants. Having a well-defined agenda in advance helped participants prepare for the meeting and ensured that discussions stayed on track.
Meeting Notes: Do allowed users to write or dictate meeting notes during the meeting. This feature facilitated the documentation of important points, decisions, and action items discussed during the meeting.
Outcomes and Followups: Items discussed during the meeting could be marked as either outcomes or follow-ups. This categorization helped participants track what needed to be done after the meeting and ensured that action items were addressed promptly.
Automatic Meeting Summaries: Do provided the option to automatically send meeting summaries via email. This feature saved time on manual reporting and ensured that all participants received a clear recap of the meeting's outcomes and action items.
Private Notes: Users could take private notes alongside shared notes. This feature allowed individuals to jot down personal thoughts or reminders related to the meeting, keeping all meeting-related information in one organized place.
