Design Exercise

Shaun Ra is a member of the space who is outside the Apple & Bartlett organization and Space Guest.

Mark Nadig does not belong to the space or the Apple & Bartlett
organization but was invited to just this conversation so he is a Conversation Guest.

What potential challenges do you see for the user with this design and how would you recommend they be solved?
Need a way to handle both Conversation guests and space guests within their current platform

1. Make sure people clearly understand the difference between a space and
conversation guest so that communication expectations are clear throughout

2. Have the ability to Convert a user from Conversation Guest to Space Guest

3. Allowing hot linking to outside information that a space guest can see

4.
Have one designation of user – guest – and allow the administrator of the space to
designate what they have access to at the time of the account creation

We believe guest users need access to spaces and conversations to more easily facilitate project communication

As with a lot of design exercises, I was not given a whole lot of information to work from, and while the question was fairly detailed, a lot of the stuff I would normally have an understanding of (i.e. platform constraints, time constraints etc) were not part of my understanding to complete this exercise

I began working with some assumptions about technical and other constraints, which I spelled out to the team in the exercise.
