Ideas for Arc XP

Make Tasks the important thing on the Task Tab, instead of Stories ..

Hi there, 

In the Task view of Websked, I feel like all task-related labels and links ought to be the more prominent elements, rather than the story headline. 

Not sure what kind of user testing you guys have done here, but I feel like If a user is going to the Task view, he probably wants to do something with the tasks, less about the stories. So I'm not sure the current design addresses that. 

I made a very simple mock up to demonstrate what I mean (see attachment). And I hope some design changes to the interface will come in the future.

    Hi Eli,

    I know this is a long time coming, but we are actively working on the updated design for tasks now, with a whole new "task experience." Thank you for your mock-up, it is really insightful. You'll be glad to hear that we have incorporated several of your ideas.

    Please let me know if you have any questions about this. If you are interested in being part of our beta test for testing the new task experience, please contact me through through Mark Waitt who is the account manager for TBT.

    Cheers,

    Stuart Ridgway

    Hi Eli

    Thanks for the design, we'll be taking another look at tasks later in the year and will keep this feedback in mind.
