After a long break!

I’m back to blogging after a looong break. I was involved in a major project, which took my time and attention. Now that the product is in Beta testing I can have some spare time to write about design.

Digits 2.0
Let me talk about my new product for a while. I was working with ‘Digits 2.0’; which is a Yahoo! Network analytics product. It helps teams and execs keep track of the entire Yahoo! Products.
It was a massive project as it involved looking at so many use cases across the company and on top I being the only designers. This being an internal application; the scope for getting more resource was always remote.
Designing this web analytics tool was an eye opener because it opened up a whole new way of looking at design. With design I got the opportunity to see the domain of analytics so closely. With proper understanding of number it gives enormous power to a designer to understand 'performance' of a site/app. But you truely need to understand the metric and dimensions in order to understand this aspect.

I'll be sharing about my understanding of this domain over subsequent posts - also about designing apps and design architecture/framework.
