Group Management Exploratory Work

What is this about?

Put simply, I've been trying to make sense of what might have to be done to incorporate group management activities into the site management UI that's being developed as part of the UXI initiative.

Primary goals have been to:

  • reduce the overlap between the people grouping activities currently done in Manage Groups (in Site Info) and Section Info
  • address missing functionality in the current toolset to cover more use cases

What have I come up with?

To that end, I've come at the problem from three angles:

  • An informal list of functional requirements, that I came up with largely via a review of various jira tickets, Course Management work (Ogle & Brierley), Fluid Content Management research, User DG "Top 5 User Support Issues", and (as best I could) comments I've picked up from recent email and Confluence comments---No actual user research focused on group or section creation and management (although user research has certainly fed the sources I did refer to). 
  • A list of common use cases, also gleaned from jira tickets, CM work, Fluid research, etc.
  • A first set of mockups, that begin to address the functional requirements and use cases,  intended to be used as "straw men" to further the discussion about what we really need.

 Please look at any/all of these pages and edit and/or comment! (I've tried to be as complete as possible, but I'm sure I'm missing lots...)
