Research:
Adatra is a cutting-edge, proprietary trading platform designed to empower both professional and individual day traders. Leveraging advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology, Adatra provides traders with real-time market analysis, intelligent trade recommendations, and the option for auto trading. Adatra aims to optimize trading strategies and maximize profit rates by harnessing the power of AI-driven decision-making. I conducted user research to understand the needs, preferences, and pain points of traders, using methods such as interviews, surveys, and usability testing to gather feedback on the platform's user interface, features, and overall user experience.
Here's how I utilized the research outputs:
I created user flows in Miro: It depicts the step-by-step journey of users as they interact with the platform. They illustrate the various paths users can take to achieve their goals. By analyzing user flows, I identified potential pain points, bottlenecks, or areas that may need improvement in the user experience. I identified opportunities to streamline the flow and reduced the number of steps required to complete essential tasks and validated the flow by conducting usability testing, making adjustments based on user feedback and observations. Everything was done with a collaboration of the development team to ensure that the UI design supports the user flows effectively.
I created information architecture that involves organizing and structuring the platform's content and navigation to facilitate intuitive and efficient access to information. It helped me to find what users need quickly and easily. The content map is a visual representation of the information architecture, showing the hierarchical relationships between different sections and content elements. I established a logical and intuitive navigation structure for the platform and grouped related content together and determine the hierarchy of information. Adatra’s application services can broadly be classified into the following pages, each representing different functionalities of the application
User Personas help to create a user-centered design by understanding users' goals, behaviors, motivations, and pain points. User personas guideed design decisions and ensure that the platform caters to the needs of its target audience.
User stories are a valuable tool for capturing user requirements and scenarios in an Agile development process. Here are a few examples of user stories for the Adatra Trading Platform:
