Let’s talk
Workhaven Portal / Illustrative project

A focused client portal with clear access boundaries.

A service team wants clients to review project progress and submit the next required item without searching through separate email threads and shared documents.

An illustrative project with a fictional business and illustrative data. Platform screens are AI-generated examples; supporting screens may show separate sample workspaces.

The challenge

Workhaven Portal

The scenario involves multiple client organisations, each with its own projects and team members. A polished interface would be insufficient if a user could see another organisation's records or if the team could not recover from an interrupted action.

The assignment

A defined brief.

Define one useful first-release journey: sign in, open an authorised project, review its status and complete an assigned request. Keep account roles, data access and acceptance checks inside that scope.

What the project includes

A scope the team can review.

  • Role-based user journeys and a bounded release backlog
  • Project, membership and request data model
  • API contract and validation scenarios
  • Empty, loading, permission and error-state requirements
  • Acceptance record and release/support checklist
The proposed approach

From discovery to handover.

Bound the first release

Write the completion criteria for the client and internal team. Identify what each role can view and change before choosing page layouts.

Use a small set of representative projects and requests to expose edge cases. Keep billing, complex reporting and unrelated collaboration features outside the first release.

Connect the workflow

Model organisation membership alongside project records and enforce access checks at the data boundary.

Define API responses for valid requests, missing fields and unauthorised access. Review the API contract against the project and membership model before accepting the user journey.

Accept the end-to-end journey

Check the workflow with users from two separate sample organisations, including attempts to access records outside their membership.

Verify interrupted actions and empty states, then record release decisions in the handover board. Prioritise follow-up work from acceptance findings rather than adding speculative features.

Tools and delivery

The work, in context.

Project acceptance and handover

Track acceptance checks, review decisions and the material needed for handover.

Acceptance criteria

How we would check the work.

Review areaAcceptance condition
Tenant accessA user can access only projects authorised by their organisation membership.
Workflow completionThe assigned request can be completed and its state is reflected in the project view.
Failure statesInvalid or interrupted actions leave a clear recovery path without a misleading success state.
Release ownershipThe team has acceptance decisions, deployment responsibilities and support instructions.
The intended outcome

What the handover should enable.

The proposed output is a focused first release with an explicit access model and a useful client workflow. Adoption, task completion and support demand would be evaluated with real users after release.

The handover

Something the team can use.

  • Data model, role rules and API contracts
  • Acceptance scenarios and release decisions
  • Support runbook and prioritised next-release backlog
