Data science projects often suffer from fragmentation across different stages of development, leading to inefficiencies, communication gaps, and barriers to innovation.
To create a holistic platform that unifies essential data science workflows, facilitating a more integrated, efficient, and collaborative approach to data-driven projects.
User Research and UI Designer for Instance Space
Conducting in-depth user research to identify the unique needs and challenges faced by data science professionals.
Developing personas and user journey maps to guide the design process.
Creating high-fidelity prototypes to visualize the app's UI for the Instance space
Our user research involved engaging with over 10 data science professionals through surveys, interviews, and participatory design sessions. Initially, we assumed that the primary challenge was the technical complexity of data science workflows. However, our research unveiled that the lack of integrated tools for collaboration and insight sharing was a more significant obstacle, prompting us to prioritize features that enhance team collaboration and project visibility.
Fragmentation of tools across different stages of data science projects.
Difficulties in sharing insights and collaborating in real-time.
Inadequate platforms for integrating domain-specific knowledge into data models.
Lack of accessible interfaces for professionals with varying levels of expertise and disabilities.
Jordan, a data scientist, needs a comprehensive tool that facilitates seamless collaboration and integration across all stages of data projects because disjointed tools and workflows hamper efficiency and innovation.
Impact
"Xubix has transformed how we approach data science projects, making collaboration and integration effortless," shared Jordan, reflecting the positive reception from the data science community.
