Design review: Organization groups and projects dashboard
Problem
We want to ensure the Organization groups and projects dashboard works as expected.
Specifically, we're looking to have a complete design review around usability, design standards, and overall UX correctness.
Resources:
Output:
- List of issues which are prioritized. Some may need to be fixed prior to release, some may be in the backlog as future changes needed.
Proposal
-
Perform a design review of the Organization groups and projects dashboard. -
Document any findings (bugs, enhancements) for future improvements.
Findings
Note, I'm referencing designs from Design: MVC organization groups and projects and Design: Organization Experience Summary
| Description | Image | Thread |
|---|---|---|
| When landing, the title of the page is Groups and projects, but only one is displayed at a time. While this does match the MVC designs, it's a confusing experience. When I first landed, the display was defaulted to projects and I wondered where the groups were. |

The sorting dropdown includes Created and Updated options. This is consistent with the projects list in Your work> Projects but inconsistent with other areas of the product where we user Created Date and Updated Date, for example in Your work > Groups and the Group overview page. |

There is not enough spacing between icons in the groups and project views. It looks cramped and doesn't match the spacing in the original designs or Your work> Projects. I'd suggest increasing the column-gap to 0.75rem. |

| After creating a new (empty) organization, the page defaults to the projects display...but I can't create a project until I have a group created first. I'd expect to see the groups empty state first. |

| When creating a new project from my new organization, I get redirected to create a project in the default organization. I expect to create a project in my original organization. | ![]() |
