Army W.E.T.S Prototype

A literal baptism of fire into UX Design

2024 - In progress

The Army W.E.T.S. Dashboard is a sophisticated prototype designed to provide military commanders with a comprehensive, real-time overview of critical data, enhancing decision-making at all levels.

Drawing information from key systems such as JPA, MJDI, JAMES, Muster, and the SOR tool, this dashboard integrates various data streams to offer a cohesive and intuitive user experience.

How it happened!

27th June 2024

A mission came in from the Commanding Officer…

“Sgt Jones, I need a mock-up of a commanders dashboard creating in 3 days to deliver to Commander 1 Div, can you do it?”

“err….

….Yes Sir?”😓

I knew what tools to use, Figma surely… but I had no experience with it at all.😟

I had also started on my Google UX design course but hadn’t even finished my second module.. what to do??

Hmmm…best find out what they expect and start sketching!💡

Sketches done and approved!! Phew what a relief, I definately need to improve that skill though.

Ok so far I have

  1. The design brief ✅

  2. Sketches ✅

Ok, so now to formalise it and start to build.. I think?

A few hours later once I was satisfied, I took to speed-running Figma and building as I learnt, an exhausting process especially as the CO kept expanding the brief. 😥

After 72 hours over a really long weekend, I finally presented the prototype you see here.
