Questions/Comments/Concerns!

  • Explanation of battery pack layout/architecture would really help

    • What’s a battery pack module?

    • Their pack layout is split into a master/slave box. They want a graphical representation of that

    • They also want physical layout visualization

Compile list of technical requirements in Technical Requirements -- Telemetry Dashboard

  • Went over Telemetry Software/Server, got preliminary list of things they want to have displayed

  • Need to come up with list of questions

  • Fleshing out definitions of technical terms/acronyms

    • create glossary/summary of what each thing means?

    • Create running list of stuff we’re still confused about and need to bug firmware about

Begin thinking about user needs

  • Why do they need x feature? What are they using it for?

  • Expanding on the table notes we have right now for each technical feature

Competitive analysis in Competitive Analysis -- Telemetry Dashboard

  • Any updates?

  • Continue working on – try to finish this week

  • Focus on other team’s telemetry dashboards if you don’t know where to start

    • How do they organize tabs? Their “overview/summary” page? “Car view”? Ways to create graphs? Ways to visualize battery pack?

  • UX is all about “taking inspiration” so we’ll likely be looking up other work throughout the design process to see how people visualize x thing

Timeline stuff???

  • When are midterms? When does the term end for everyone?

  • Midterms are scattered all throughout June

  • July slightly lighter

  • I’d like to wrap up the “preliminary research/onboarding” phase by June 21 and begin recruiting folks

  • Interviews until July 10 (if we’re lucky lol)

    • Research can run at the same time as interviews

  • Data analysis – likely in the form of some kind of 2 hour workshop (one-time thing)

  • Mid-July to August will be “actual” designing

Onboarding - (24 May 2021)

Welcome to telemetry!

What is Telemetry?

  • There’s a bunch of instruments/sensors/fancy things in the car

  • They measure like 500 different things

  • Telemetry: this data is recorded and transmitted to the user (on a laptop)

  • The purpose of the telemetry dashboard is to allows us to view historical car data and create new graphs or visualizations as necessary.

  • We need to display all this data in a coherent, legible, usable way

    • [insert screenshot of a line graph with >20 lines that firmware absolutely insisted had to be displayed like that so they could compare everything]

Onboarding To-dos for all of you (try to do by [May 31st])

1. Book 1-1s https://calendly.com/joyhe1-1/15min?month=2021-05 – they’re optional, but also highly encouraged: they help me.

  • What do you want to gain from this experience/what are your goals learning/career-wise?

  • What past experience do you have with UX and/or front-end?

  • How many hours do you think you can do each week?

  • What do you need from me?

2. Figure out what’s going on (and do some writing…sorry)

  • Data visualization and UX best practices – 1 to 2 hours Resources/Best Practices

    • Google! Find 3 good sources/articles/guides (that other people haven’t found yet).

    • Paste them into the doc and write a short summary of good points for each source you find

    • If you have questions, write them down too! We can research/look into them and write more info on the doc – you can also write them in the May 31st meeting notes

  • Telemetry dashboard – 30 min

    • Read Telemetry Server

    • Read Telemetry Software

    • Come up with at least 1 (non-googleable) question about things you’re confused about/you or the team needs clarification on/resources you want.

      • Write questions/comments in May 31st meeting notes so we can start with those at next week’s meeting

      • I will be funneling questions to other people as needed, so ask early!

Individual Tasks (2 people on each) – how long do we need?

Compile list of technical requirements in Technical Requirements -- Telemetry Dashboard

  • Start with Telemetry Server and Telemetry Software

  • What needs to be displayed on the dashboard? Not worried about the “how” yet

    • Don’t start solutioning yet!!

    • Technical requirements is more about “we must have voltage, speed, PWM”.

  • What info do you need, and from who?

    • Have a list of questions so we (you?) can starting planning exploratory interviews

    • Look into UX interview/exploratory research techniques

Competitive analysis in Competitive Analysis -- Telemetry Dashboard

  • Telemetry Server is a start

  • Telemetry dashboards for other applications (drones? robots? trucking?)

  • Non-telemetry dashboards/data visualization

    • finance/stocks? not sure what else. You look into it!

  • How do other people visualize and manipulate large amounts of complex data?

  • Look into competitive analysis techniques/templates

Upcoming Tasks

People

Start looking at user needs – we know nothing about this right now

  • User needs is about why do you need voltage? what are you doing with this info? what needs to be more prominent?

  • Think about exploratory interviews

    • What kind of people do you need? – come up with proto-personas, or different roles within the team who need different things from the dashboard

    • What information do you need from each type of person?

  • Come up with more questions! Start organizing them into themes

  • We want to be able to generate jobs to be done, use cases, flows, etc

Digging deeper into pain points with existing data visualization solutions

  • Planning for interviews with people who were on MSXII (past dashboard)

    • What kind of people do you need? – come up with proto-personas, or different roles within the team who need different things from the dashboard

    • What information do you need from each type of person?

    • List of questions.

  • Think of other ways to figure out issues with past or existing data visualization/dashboards so we don’t repeat the same mistakes

    • Could get files of the MSXII dashboard, get your peers to look at it and do user testing??? idk

      • Also could do with existing products that you found earlier

To-Dos for me Joy He (Deactivated)

  • Do the To-dos for all of you

  • Bug people about getting access to the actual FSGP2019 dashboard so y’all can poke around

  • Write up summaries of data visualization best practices resources I got from co-op

If you have questions/concerns about anything, message the Telemetry Dashboard channel. Your questions will likely help the entire team. You can also DM me!
