Cost Management Application
Description
I created a sophisticated cost forecasting tool to replace the client’s outdated Excel-based process. The forecasting tool allows users to project costs across different time periods, add cost curves, and manage project data through a dynamic, user-friendly interface. The project evolved through several iterations, where I worked closely with the client to refine the design and incorporate new features, including an approval process page requested midway through the project. I leveraged Figma for high-fidelity prototypes and collaborated with developers throughout the design-to-development handoff.
Key Features
- Cost Spread Feature: Users can spread activity costs over multiple months, giving them flexibility in budgeting and forecasting.
- Interactive Filters: The tool includes dynamic filters that allow users to adjust their view based on project, time frame, and other variables.
- Approval Process Integration: An additional page was added to streamline project approvals, allowing users to track approval stages for cost forecasts.
Technologies Used
Figma for prototyping, developer collaboration tools, stakeholder feedback loops.
Challenges Overcome
Introducing new features mid-project without disrupting the timeline or exceeding the budget. Worked under tight deadlines to integrate an approval workflow and ensure compatibility with existing tools.
