01

Problem

The university needed one structured product experience for students, faculty, and administrators to manage research milestones with less friction.

Users moved through scattered systems with unclear ownership, which slowed approvals and made academic workflows harder to complete end to end.

02

Process

Step 01

Mapped flows across students, faculty, departments, and approval authorities.

Step 02

Grouped modules by user intent instead of internal university terminology.

Step 03

Built role-based dashboard concepts to reduce hesitation and support dependency.

03

Solution

Created a scalable platform with role-based dashboards, clearer approval trails, structured forms, and stronger status communication across modules.
