Research Plan

Objective

The objective of our research is to inform the design and development of the D user platform within a limited timeframe, leveraging existing data provided by stakeholders while respecting confidentiality constraints.

Key Steps

1. Data Collection

  • Gather relevant documents, presentations, and meeting notes related to the Dcide Denergia ecosystem and D use platform requirements.

2. Data Analysis

  • Review and analyze existing data to extract insights on user needs, system functionalities, and access permission management.

3. Competitor Analysis

  • If available, analyze data on competitors or similar platforms to identify best practices and areas for improvement.

4. Compliance Considerations

  • Review information on data protection regulations (e.g., LGPD) to ensure platform compliance.

5. Stakeholder Input

  • Incorporate specific guidance or preferences provided by stakeholders during meetings.

Research Goals

  • Understand User Needs: Gain insights into administrators' needs and pain points related to access permission management in the Dcide Denergia ecosystem.
  • Identify Key Features: Determine essential features and functionalities required for an effective D use platform.
  • Ensure Compliance: Align the platform design and policies with data protection regulations, such as LGPD.
  • Incorporate Stakeholder Input: Integrate valuable input or requirements provided by stakeholders during meetings.

Assumptions

  • Data Adequacy: Stakeholder-provided data is comprehensive and accurately represents user requirements.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Clear communication with stakeholders, and documented feedback or guidance is understood.
  • Data Confidentiality: Adhere to NDA and data privacy regulations; specific data will not be shared in this research article.

Methodologies

  • Document Analysis: Thoroughly review and analyze documents, presentations, and meeting notes provided by stakeholders.
  • Comparative Analysis: Compare Dcide Denergia ecosystem and D use platform requirements with similar platforms or competitors.
  • Regulatory Compliance Review: Examine information to ensure alignment with data protection regulations, especially LGPD.
  • Stakeholder Integration: Incorporate insights or requirements communicated by stakeholders during meetings into research findings.
Summary: Our research approach focuses on extracting insights from existing data, ensuring compliance, and incorporating stakeholder input to inform the design and development of the D use platform. The use of simple language and a clear framework aims to make complex ideas understandable and provide actionable takeaways.

Research Overview

Data Collection

The primary research for the Dcide Denergia Access Management UI project involved a meticulous collection and analysis of existing data provided by stakeholders. This data encompassed documents, presentations, and meeting notes related to the Dcide Denergia ecosystem and the requirements for the UI platform.

Documents Analyzed:
  • Comprehensive review of relevant documents.
  • Scrutiny of presentations outlining ecosystem dynamics
Meeting Notes:
  • Extracted valuable insights from discussions during meetings.

Stakeholder Feedback

Throughout the research process, a key focus was on maintaining open and productive communication with stakeholders. The feedback received was overwhelmingly positive, indicating a successful and collaborative effort.

Positive Feedback Highlights
  • Stakeholders expressed satisfaction with the depth and accuracy of information collected.
  • Acknowledgment of commitment to respecting NDA and data privacy regulations.
Incorporating Stakeholder Input:
  • Actively involved stakeholders in the research process.
  • Integrated valuable guidance and preferences into research findings.

CSD Matrix

As a crucial part of the primary research, Certainties, Suppositions, and Doubt (CSD) Matrix was employed. This matrix served to provide a structured overview of the project's context, system boundaries, and data requirements.

Purpose of CSD Matrix:
  • Visualization of project elements and relationships.
  • Enhanced understanding of system scope and data dependencies.
Benefits of CSD Matrix:
  • Clear delineation of certainties, suppositions, and doubts.
  • Aids in decision-making by highlighting areas of uncertainty.

Conclusion

The primary research for the Dcide Denergia Access Management UI project was comprehensive, involving data analysis and stakeholder collaboration. The positive feedback from stakeholders and the use of the CSD Matrix underscore the effectiveness of the research process in shaping a well-informed foundation for the project. This approach ensures that user needs and system functionalities are at the forefront of the UI development, aligning seamlessly with stakeholder expectations.

UI Breakdown


In this UI breakdown, I will provide a brief overview of the key user interface (UI) components for the Dcide Denergia Access Management UI project. Please note that I cannot share some specific screen due to NDA and LGPD constraints.

Login Screen

Description:

The login screen serves as the entrance to the Dcide Denergia platform. It's the initial point where users input their credentials to gain access to the system.

Dashboard mockup

Home

Description:

The home screen functions as a hub, presenting a snapshot of the Dcide Denergia ecosystem. It showcases crucial statistics, such as the total user count, profiles, recently active users, and usage metrics for various products. Each card on this screen serves as a direct link to specific management features.

Manage Users

Description:

The “Manage Users” screen empowers administrators to efficiently handle user accounts. Here's what you can do on this screen:

  • Add Users: Administrators can seamlessly add new users to the system.
  • Delete Users: Unnecessary or outdated user accounts can be easily removed.
  • Assign Profiles: Specific profiles can be assigned to users, determining their access permissions for various modules and products.

Report

Description:

The “Report” screen offers diverse reporting options, simplifying data retrieval and analysis. Here are the key tabs and their functionalities:

  • Newsletter Tab: Export an email list of registered users for communication purposes.
  • User Access Tab: Generate a log detailing user access, aiding in tracking system interactions.
  • Users/Profiles Tab: Create comprehensive reports on user permissions, streamlining oversight of access controls.
