PROBLEM AT HAND
How can we improve the process of assigning speakers to rooms in different locations?
As the time of annual teacher conventions are approaching, NCTCA & GETCA usually begin the process of preparing and organizing speakers. During this workflow process, they rely heavily on spreadsheets to assign speakers to rooms. However, using a spreadsheet is difficult to manage, update, and shuffle around. They wanted an overarching view of their speakers across different conference days without clicking between pages.
Through understanding the problem, my team found that having a single visual interface could help NCTCA & GETCA’s admins to do exactly what is desired. Based on our client's pain points and knowledge of the CMS, we designed a drag and drop calendar feature that capitalized on interactions.
