A targeted fix was implemented to remove the daily workaround and improve team efficiency.

Article TitleArticle Title
Client:
Broadcast television tool for weather forecasting
Challenge Focus:
The complex workflow prevents efficient task completion.

The Business Trigger:

"The functionality helps create custom color palettes, but the complex process of palette management was preventing our broadcast graphics teams from creating custom legends. They needed the ability to automatically generate legends based on their own unique color palettes, but the current workflow was too cumbersome for daily broadcast preparation."

Observing Natural Graphics Creation Process

User Mental Model Discovery:

  • Workflow thinking: "I specify content, system handles professional visual presentation"
  • Time pressure reality: "Legend creation must fit within broadcast preparation timeline"
  • User expectation: System acts like professional graphics assistant
  • System required users to be both meteorologists AND graphic designers

System reality:

  • Technical tool requiring manual visual optimization
  • Complex multi-step process requiring careful attention to visual details
  • Potential for gaps, poor spacing, and unprofessional appearance
Key behavioral insight: "Professional users don't want to be graphic designers - they want tools that produce professional results while letting them focus on their domain expertise (meteorology/broadcasting)."

Our Solutions

Additions that preserves existing workflows while adding intelligent behavior

  • Added Legend Builder as focused feature: Surgical addition, not comprehensive redesign
  • Real-time preview showing exactly how legend will appear on broadcast
  • Preserved existing palette functionality: No disruption to current workflows
  • Preserved existing palette functionality: No disruption to current workflows

The Results

  • Legend creation time: Reduced from complex manual process to quick generation
  • Trust in the system: Users are confident that the generated legends are of professional quality and ensure broadcast standards.
  • Feature utilization: Custom legends now practical for daily broadcast use

The Takeaway

  • This project demonstrates how workflow psychology assessment can identify when professional users need intelligent system behavior, not just additional features or training, to achieve their professional goals efficiently.
