Explanation
Overall
3/10
Yash's overall score of 3/10 reflects a foundational but underdeveloped approach to the design challenges presented in the assessment. While he acknowledges some of the core issues and suggests features that could potentially enhance user interaction and understanding of financial activities, his responses lack depth and do not fully utilize the rich user and business context provided in the brief.
In summary, while Yash has made some appropriate recommendations, his overall contribution does not thoroughly address the complexities of the design challenge, missing critical details and innovative approaches that could significantly enhance the product within the defined constraints. This leads to an overall assessment score that reflects a need for greater depth, strategic alignment, and creativity in his approach to product design.
Business Alignment
2/10
While Yash acknowledges the importance of aligning with broader business objectives, his suggestions are vague and fail to integrate the business goals with user needs effectively. His approach lacks specificity in how the new features would drive user engagement or usability, which were the key objectives of the assignment.
Feasibility & Execution
1/10
Yash does not pay heed to the section on constraints in making his recommendations. Factors such as budget, timeline, and resources were not considered. In this regard, his answers reflect a lack of knowledge of how specific tasks such as surveys and user research are executed.
User Centered Thinking
3/10
Yash's answers show some understanding of user needs, particularly in his mention of adding a transaction management section to help users understand their spending. However, he does not elaborate on how this feature would be tailored to the specific needs or behaviors of the app's primary user base. His response lacks depth in terms of connecting these features directly to the expressed desires for simplicity and personalized experiences.
Analytical skills
3/10
Yash's idea to collect user data and analyze user flows indicates an analytical approach, but he does not provide a detailed strategy or demonstrate how these analytics would influence the design changes. His answers miss an opportunity to discuss potential insights from data that could lead to more informed design decisions.
Design knowledge
3/10
Yash proposes basic UI changes, such as simplifying charts and revising the layout for navigation. These suggestions show some understanding of design principles but lack innovation or a clear connection to enhancing user engagement and usability as specified in the brief.
Creativity & practicality
3/10
The responses show a practical approach to addressing user issues by adding a section for expenditures. However, the creative aspect is minimal, and the solutions are quite straightforward without considering more inventive or effective ways to engage users or improve the app's usability within the constraints provided.
Communication
4/10
Yash communicates his ideas clearly but lacks persuasive details and does not effectively use specific information from the brief to support his arguments. His responses could be more compelling with richer explanations and a stronger connection to the brief's objectives and constraints.
Reasoning
2/10
The reasoning behind Yash's proposals is somewhat weak. He does not thoroughly explain how his suggested changes directly impact the app’s key metrics or address the noted drop in user engagement with the breakdown feature. There is a significant gap in logical flow and justification for his design choices.
Collaboration
3/10
There is little to no mention of collaborative strategies or how he would work within the team or with stakeholders to implement and refine his ideas. The brief implies the importance of collaboration, especially since resources are limited and he is the sole designer.
