Labs / Product concept
A simpler place to work together.
A concept workspace exploring how milestones, decisions and documents can stay in one dependable place.
The premise
Project context scatters: decisions in messages, files in three places, milestones in someone's head. This concept tests a workspace where the record of a project is the project.
The moves
Decisions this concept makes.
01
Milestones with plain status, so progress is readable at a glance.
02
A decision log that records what was agreed and when it was agreed.
03
Documents attached to the stage they belong to, not a shared folder.
04
Permissions modelled from the start, so access reflects responsibility.
What the artefact shows
Internal portal — first version
Illustration only
- Workspace interface studies: milestones, decision log, document set
- Requirements outline and acceptance criteria format
- Data model and permission sketch
- Prototype-first staging plan
Open questions
- Does a decision log earn its keep if writing to it is optional?
- How should access change as a project moves between stages?
Scope and limitations
A static illustrative interface, not working software. Projects, milestones, decisions and documents are synthetic. No portal here is live, authenticated, or available to sign into.
Labs work is independent. Nothing here is commissioned client work, and no outcome is claimed on a client's behalf.
