Impacts
Prevented $1–2M potential losses by enabling earlier intervention
Improved project visibility across portfolios
Reduced reliance on manual reports from PMs
Overview
Problem
Construction teams relied on static reports and site photos, making it nearly impossible to detect delays early.
By the time issues surfaced, projects were already at risk — leading to $1–2M losses.
My Contribution
- Led End-to-end Product Design: Research → Concept → Test → Delivery
- Defined Core UX Flow Strategy: Portfolio → Momentum → Drill-down model
- Facilitated Alignment with PM + CS + Engineering
- Translate customer pain points into product direction
- Established Design Release System in Figma for Faster Delivery
Insight
Users didn't need more data — they needed early signals of risk + clear momentum of progress
Based on the user research from surveys or interviews with project managers, key project stakeholders from
Design Process
Reframed the product from a data viewer into a decision-making tool
Designed Momentum-based Visualization to surface risk through trend patterns
Users didn't trust abstract data alone → Connected analytics directly to 360 image inspection
Revamped information architecture + Wireframe during the workshop
Early exploration of momentum visualization design for MVP release
Final Solution
A portfolio-level analytics experience that:
Surfaces early delay risks through momentum signals at a glance
Visualizes progress trends across time and milestones
Connects insights directly to on-site verification via 360 images
Before
- Weak data visibility
- No early signal
- Hard to compare projects
After
- Momentum-based tracking
- Early delay detection (before risks escalate)
- Portfolio-level visibility
This project transformed OnsiteIQ from a data-reporting tool into a proactive decision-making platform.
