The Problem
Checklists are a key way to track project progress, but for office staff, constantly checking the status of multiple checklists across active projects is a hassle—leading to wasted time.

The Solution
To solve this, we introduced a centralized feed displaying key checklist details—assignees, progress, and recent updates—all in one place. This allows users to see progress at a glance and stay up to date without digging through multiple projects.

It's the Little Things
By providing instant insights into checklist progress and real-time activity information, users can check in on multiple projects without the extra navigation previously required.

Preserving Scroll Positions and Quick Links to Checklists
This hover interaction was a direct result of feedback from other parts of our web app. Users were frustrated when content opened in the same tab, causing them to lose their spot due to pagination. To address this, I introduced a new convention for our app: a hover state that clearly indicates the impending action and prevents users from losing their spot due to pagination. From this feed, users can jump into various projects and checklists, all from one location.

The Context
When we launched Checklists in 2021, we didn’t anticipate it becoming such a widely utilized tool for templated checklists. As the number of checklists grew, it became clear that we needed to provide more efficient paths for users to find and track various checklists across projects.

We have so many jobs going on almost 24/7… digging through all of them to find the right checklist really just takes too much time.
Checklists are one way I measure progress at a job. Usually, I just have to keep it up and open so I can refresh and see the latest changes. Otherwise, I can’t find it again.
Managing Active Projects
On average, users manage 6 active jobs at any given time. These projects vary in scope and complexity, requiring constant attention and force users to frequently context switch.

How might we streamline the process for office staff to quickly check on the latest checklist updates?

Leveraging Established Conventions
Utilizing existing conventions from the Project and Reports Feeds, the Checklists Feed was created to consolidate all collected information in one place. This approach aligned with our goal to ‘own the capture layer’ without shifting into project management.
