Content Studio Portal is a Content Management tool used by the specialized team in Microsoft to manage design assets created for the brick and mortar Microsoft Stores. I was brought onto the project to design and oversee development of the toolset beyond the intial v1 launch.
A basic web CMS application was already in use by the team but was in need of additional functionality in order to handle the increasingly complex workload. Features were needed to build a more versatile file management tools on top of the system as well as more capabilities within each project.
Getting Started
Hand drawn diagrams served as a conversation started to kick off the initial plans on the overall needs of the project. The yellow band is a quick overview of the existing features while the orange bands show proposed features that will add more capabilities on top of and within the existing existing functions.
