With the launch of this feature, collaboration across governments, coastal communities, and scientists for conservation efforts of endangered species are moving much quicker and have significantly improved.
Siren is used across ~30 countries and is sponsored by National Geographic for three years in a row.
Creating clarity
Quick search & flexibility
Condense and centralize
Previously, it wasn't clear to the researcher which project the questions were related to. This left fisherman/field assistants confused on which questions were pertained to them and the project they were on.
With the new redesign, we created emphasis on project clarity, reduced the amount of columns displayed, and centralized language translation.
I restructured how researchers would configure through a list of pre-selected common questions. I categorized questions under headings so topics can easily be filtered through.
Furthermore, if there is not a question from the list, researchers now have the ability to submit their own unique custom question.
This increased the efficiency of how researchers can submit questions and proceed quicker to formulate a plan of action.
The previous flow prevented researchers from submitting any follow-up questions or comments related to an issue.
This left communication and any progress to be made at a halt.
Not only this, but if multiple questions were to be asked, each question had to be submitted individually. This overloaded both researcher and field assistants' dashboard view.
With the new flow and design implemented, multiple questions can be selected into one issue and follow-ups can be submitted. Thus, keeping information per issue contained into one.
Restructure where researchers/admins go to submit a question
Add most common asked questions to the top of list
Heavy emphasis on mobile view for field assistants/fisherman
