Notes from Meeting

  • Content Guidelines: Serena and Anita have ideas to include visuals and include different designs to make the information easier to scan and read
    - [ ] Google doc for Guidelines
  • Go over Sitemap
    - [ ] Agreed that a content inventory would not be needed and having a derailed sitemap fits our needs and goals
    - [ ] Using one frame/board to include the content for all pages
    - [ ] Anita will update the content portion for the landing page
    - [ ] Sam is working on the letter generator portions and fitting a new page
    - [ ] New page: an overview of the questions on the form
    - [ ] Aiming to have it completed for review next week
  • Review changes and receive feedback from Content
    - [ ] Landing Page
    - [ ] Serena and Anita built the flow of the landing page based on user needs/pain points from Pilot Usability testing
    -[ ] Needs/pain points:
    - [ ]Privacy
    - [ ] Understanding of expungement process and tool/how to use tool
    - [ ] Re-organizing sections
    - [ ] Anita and Serena will re-organize sections for next week’s review
    - [ ] Discussed having a section on the Figma page next to the wireframes that would have the copy approved by Content so that Design can use
    - [ ] Working on improving copy with each iteration + usability testing
    - [ ] Discussion on making information more visual and giving users a visual overview of what the tool consists of
    - [ ] Using a gif or including a video on how to use
    - [ ] Using a step-by-step overview of how the letter generator fits within the expungement process but would need to verify information with Research
    - [ ] Code for America’s Clear My Record is a great reference that we could hyperlink some pages that would point users to the next steps after they write their letter
    - [ ] Last pages of Letter Generator
    - [ ] Between the final preview page and download page, there was not a lot of content to have on two different pages, so we decided to combine those pages in one.
    - [ ] Wireframes for this merge can be found under the Desktop page on Figma.
    - [ ] Anita will place a note on the wireframe that Irene and Sam can make content edits on
    - [ ] Internal Usability testing shared that some users wanted to edit their letter on the final preview, but Dev shared that changes on the final preview page would not sync to previous pages if users were to go back to those pages
    - [ ] Solution: include a section (either before letter preview or after) that shares that if they would like to make edits, they would have to copy text or download the letter into a word doc and make those changes. OR go back to the page that would allow edits
    - [ ] Need copy for this from Content
    - [ ] Revisiting this next week to discuss where to place copy based on content flow

Accountability and Support Check

  • Review assignments for each team member

Recurring items:

  • Sitemap update- done
  • Landing page update
  • Letter Generator pages
    - [ ] Question Overview
    - [ ] Final letter preview + Download
    - [ ] Updating buttons on pop-up pages (desktop and mobile)
  • About Us page update
  • Figma re-organization
  • Advice page visual collab
  • Quick Q: add pop-up buttons in Design system?

New Meeting Items

  • LG: Advice page

FYI

  • No meeting next week?

Notes from Meeting

  • Sitemap
    - Reviewed the Sitemap but noticed that we need to update the LG pages to reflect the merge of the last two pages
    - Keeping the sitemap issue on GitHub open for changes
  • Letter Generator Pages
    - Will the LG progress bar have the steps presented? All progress bars will have the name of the step and are in the design system (desktop + mobile)
    - There will be another wireframe reflecting when download buttons are activated
    - Sam made a Github issue to update buttons on LG pop up buttons. Also to update the pop up card on design system to say "let's continue"
    - Flow of last page --- perhaps have a pop-up that shares that exiting the page would delete letter. --- discussion on page vs pop- up. We would need to make pop up bold and different than the others.
  • Advice page visual collab
    - Sam updated content to target pain points from UT. Design to add icons and include visual elements to make it easier to consume--- x or circle with slash between. Design on mobile will differ in terms of layout- stack "do" and "don't" information with visuals instead of having it in one line (mobile)
  • Landing page
    - Content assessed their tasks and will probably finish before schedule and work on copy on LP before next UT
    - Demo ideas: PPT of screenshots of LG , use figma prototype to show how it works, video, screen record prototype or website. We would need to create something that is feasible within our skill set and time.
    - Illustrations: where were they pulled from? Perhaps HfLA has a repository since many have the same artistic style.
  • Figma re-organization
    • Anita created a mock up of Figma organization --- spaces for dev,content, and WIP. Could move pages around as we hand off
    • Better to keep WIP and keep pages there instead of moving to save design progress and assist folks new to team what is current
    • Pages will have a section in each page sharing the most up to date frame---include date
    • Archive: have pages names with the name of page and date of launch/push --- that page would have all works/iterations that were worked on during that launch/push
    • Next meeting we will re-organize figma together

Task Items

  • Anita will update sitemap with LG page merge
  • Anita- create wireframe with activated buttons (LG pages)
  • Design to work on mock ups of pop up and page that alarms users of losing their letter that was generated.
  • Design- work on advice page
  • Serena is moving the wireframes + comments to Desktop page on Figma
  • Content will be writing copy for users instead of Partners
  • Ask Jamie whether Hack for LA has a database or repository of illustrations for us to use/update on the website

New Meeting Items

  • Finishing up Parenting Flow - update
  • Finishing up About Us page - any new/remaining content needs
  • Finishing up Landing page - any new/remaining content needs with new iterations?
  • LG - new proposed flows from Content - what’s needed and what’s feasible?
  • LG - Auto-generated text fixes, Design input needed on variable sentences, possibility to create multiple options depending on what’s clicked (also have asked Dev). Problems: 1. repetitive letters/judge gets same exact letter 1000 times: how to fix - variable sentences? 2. Transitions to make paragraphs flow together. 3. etc. (unfinished iteration)
  • Naming categories: Need some input from everyone about what to call “Recovery” (I’m stuck)
  • Advice page update
  • Milestone updates and alignment for remaining work for IUT2 release

FYI

  • [ ]

Notes from Meeting

  • Introductions
  • Jamie presented milestone updates: We can now filter our issues based on milestones. We are on W2 working on IUT2 milestones. For issues we would like to push for the next release, we can label them under W3. There is also an option for a time way later in the future. This helps us visualize and plan ideas and solutions.
  • Parenting flow: Serena worked on Dev feedback and will later show Content to review copy for grammar
  • About Us page--- working on next week
  • Landing page --- Sam will take a look at it next week and Design will continue synthesizing ideas. We can borrow designs from the iterations to convey the information we may need. Having the animation would be great. Need to ask dev if feasible
  • Recovery--- Sam is having trouble on what to call this category. Figma has her notes on different options she has already come up with but would like more feedback and help from Design. We can talk more about it through Slack
  • Adding categories: How many categories should we add? Which ones should we prioritize? Is it feasible for Dev? We will ask dev if we can add more flows and categories. We would continue with the parenting flow and hold off on caretaking. We would rather much like to have an other option to fulfill other experiences users may have (i.e. loans, starting a business, buying a home etc). If possible, we can add one more besides others about small business, buying a home, or loans.

Task Items

  • Begin assigning Milestones to future issues created on Github
  • Discuss "recovery" options on Slack
  • Talk to Dev about adding category/flow and if it is feasible

FYI

  • Sam will be out this weekend and will return on Monday
  • Phu joined our team as a UX Designer! 🎉

Notes from Meeting

  • FAQ Question: @kyle-whitaker shared that the question that we drafted to include in the FAQ page was already included in the current FAQ. He then changed the question to make it more specific to how the declaration letter fits within the whole expungement process. He did some research and created a general answer and one that is more detailed. He wanted our feedback on whether he is in the right direction and if we want to add this in W2.
    • We decided to have this issue be pushed for the next iteration to give more time to research the answer. Anita will also take a look more in-depth at the responses created and give feedback
    • Design also decided that this page will not have an accordion design until the next push.
    • Before you begin: Kyle asked what Design was planning for this page and if there was a conversation on having a new onboarding process. Anita shared that it was briefly mentioned but we had decided to revisit this idea for the next push.
    • Spell check: Kyle asked if we have explored the idea of having a spell check feature on the letter generator. A great idea that we would have to ask Dev about in W3
    • No updates from Design -- communicating through Figma with Sam
    • Phu asked for clarification on the short input field for mobile. Anita clarified what we needed help with but the Design team decided to keep the width of the mobile text input field the same for usability.

Task Items

  • Anita - look at answers to the FAQ question Kyle created and provide feedback
  • Design will ask Dev on Monday if an accordion is possible for LP
  • David will prepare a prototype of how the accordion will respond

  • Removing the word "involvement"
  • Naming "Jenny" - ideas on diverse/gender neutral name

FYI

  • Serena and Anita are the Design team's new Co-leads!
  • No Design + Content Sync meeting next week

Notes from Meeting

  • Parenting Flow: Serena showed Content the different options she came up with for this flow based on the previous discussion. She had one that incorporated radio buttons for the age question (but would be optional) and then another option that changed the questions to be more general. If we choose to have the age question to be optional, we have to consider how the text would be generated. We also have to ask Dev how this would look like with an "optional" question.
  • Adding more detail to "Add" feature..."Add child" instead of "Add" so the instructions are clear. Content and Design agreed to this
  • Something else flow: Anita created the wireframes for the Something else flow but noticed that we run into the same problem as the parenting flow regarding time. Content decided to delete the second question. Kyle is working on smoothing out the copy
  • Question/Discussion regarding the Progress bar title. Each categories page has "Involvement: [category name] for the progress bar. Sam asked if having "Involvement" was for internal use or if was it also for users. We noticed that the progress does not move at all for these categories page and having the word "Involvement" in front of the category indicates that the user is still under the "Involvement" section and that is the reason the progress bar has not changed. If we remove the word "Involvement", it is feasible for Design to increase the length of the solid progress bar slightly to show progress for each section. We then wondered if this would be dependent on what choices they make. David shared that it would still be possible and it does not matter what and how many categories they select. We can still design a progress bar that reflects progress. We would have to collaborate with Dev on this for W3. We can also flag this for UXR to research for the next testing
  • Advice page: The design is done. Anita tried to fix the font size based on Dev's feedback. They shared that the font sizes between mobile and desktop were drastically different. Will keep it for now. Asked if Content is updated for handoff? Not yet, Content is working on "Miss Jenny"...having "Miss Jenny" infantilizes the users...Content asked for feedback from design. They are seeking gender neutral and racial-inclusive name...We decided to remove "Miss" and are going to seek another name
  • Improving collaboration and workflow on Figma so that copy and design do not get lost. we brainstormed different ideas. Sam will archive the Sandbox page. We want to incorporate icons that would move around wireframes to signify which wireframe has the most updated copy or design. A different icon for Content and Design to communicate this. Both content and design will work in the same space but use headers. For the next push, we can have a Figma page for each WIP and then archive it into one page at the end of the phase. We will need to remember to update designs and copy in both mobile and desktop Master copies
  • Prioritizing issues for dEV: Can Content and Design work on this with Dev during the planning meeting? It would be best for us to prioritize issues before the meeting so that Dev could assess and plan for Friday's meeting ...Since we are not meeting next week, we can work on this asynchronously. Anita can create a Figjam board and we work from there and handoff to Dev. If needed, we can schedule a meeting where Design and Content leads meet to do this before Friday

Task Items

Notes from Meeting

  • Going through Figma Prioritization board to focus on completing issues for this week based on the prioritization
  • LP: Anita and David are working on this. We just need illustrations for this and to adjust the spacing. Then we can hand over to Dev
  • Want to focus on updating the Unemployment, Employment, and Self-Improvement flow for this weekend
  • Parenting flow: Serena showed two different options. The conversation about grammar for the generated text that gets inputted. Perhaps we can ask Dev about this? Continuing to go with the "add child" option with drop-down
  • Content is waiting for the parenting page to officially finalize the automated generated text appearing in the "preview and edit" pages for each flow.
  • Phu is working on the FAQ page. Will tag Content once completed to give it one more look for approval and then will work together to
  • Improving collaboration/ communication on Figma: For future issues that include collaboration we will begin to include points on the GitHub issue regarding receiving approval from Design/Content, Coordinating moving wireframes to the Design handoff page on Figma, and updating the "Draft" Github issue . We will also include a point to ensure that wireframes are updated in the Master Figma pages
  • Anita went ahead and deleted the wireframes that Dev completed on the Design hand off page on Figma. We should keep an eye out on when issues are closed as done so that we deleted the wireframes from there and move them over to the master page.
  • We are still in the process of cleaning up and moving over wireframes to the master page. Content would like to review the copy to make sure the copy is updated. For now, continue on the WIP Desktop pages. The design will leave a checkmark emoji for the ones that are updated so that Content can begin to look over the copy. Content will then leave a star for the ones that are ready to move on over to the Master pages

Task Items

  • Anita: create a separate issue to do a sweeping copy change for the preview page on each flow---" Preview and edit"
  • For future issues that include collaboration we will begin to include points on the GitHub issue regarding receiving approval from Design/Content, Coordinating moving wireframes to the Design handoff page on Figma, and updating the "Draft" Github issue . We will also include a point to ensure that wireframes are updated in the Master Figma pages

Notes from Meeting

  • Employment, Unemployment, Something else, Self-improvement flow are ready to be taken off draft and handed over to Dev
  • LP- copy is done and Anita and David are working on finalizing
  • Parenting flow: going with the general wireframe that will protect privacy. Dev shared that they could work with the grammar when users share having more than 1 child. Serena is going to create a GitHub issue for Dev and prepare wireframes for Handoff
  • Autogenerated text: The LG page on Figma has all the preview pages with the autogenerated text. We need to create a hand-off section on the Design hand off the page and update the Draft GitHub issue. The line with the star is the final copy for this issue that Content has worked on
  • We want to prioritize the LG pages to test them for IUT2. We will let Dev know they are the highest priority. We would want to have these completed because it may not be fully possible or flexible if these are not implemented and we conduct the interviews using a prototype
  • Prototype: There was a discussion on Design working on a prototype in case Dev cannot finish implementing the new updates. It would be possible, but we would need to know what questions would be asked from UXR because users would not be able to type on the prototype. Everything would be pre-filled and they can only interact with the buttons and pages. We want to prioritize the LG pages so that we would not be limited to a prototype.
  • How did UXR conduct the interviews for IUT1 and has there been any discussion for IUT2? UXR is building off on the Research script and plan from IUT1. Things will change based on the feedback we will ask for, but there is a possibility not everything will be covered. They are planning to have two groups to interview and each group would have different questions asked
  • Google slide deck we are handing over to UXR: will organize it by themes instead of by page. We will also share priority of each theme

Task Items

  • Kyle will be assigning and removing drafts from Employment, Unemployment, and Self-improvement GitHub issue
  • Serena preparing wireframes for handoff and creating a GitHub issue for Dev
  • Design will flag Dev to work on the LG pages first before the other pages on Monday

  • Mobile page and updating figma master pages
  • Category order

FYI

  • Jaime is not available today
  • No meeting next week due to planning a meeting

Notes from Meeting

  • Anita presented LP to Content and shared ideas re: letter. Pulled copy from auto-generated issue to create 3 different letters. Just changed the name and dates. Doing the letter screenshot because it is more tangible and shows users what to expect after they download their letter.
  • Category order: we thought that some wireframes on Figma had different category orders that would impact Dev. Concluded that it looked okay and the order we handed off to Dev would be okay
  • Mobile page and updating Figma: Going to work on this a bit more once we hand over everything to Dev
  • Anita showed Content the new sections feature to Content. We found that you cannot link sections and only can copy the link to frames
  • Affinity map: decided to do this exercise so everyone can participate and we can gain more feedback from the team. We are starting off with "brain dumping" areas we would like feedback on and then organizing them by theme. This is helping us to organize the slide deck

Task Items

  • Anita will update the other two letters in LP

Notes from Meeting

Maria: Project Management vs Product Management
Big Picture Project Management
Fill gaps and improve processes - synch and improve synch

Content Updates: Sam & Emma handed off hack for LA code for LA changes to design; should be going to dev shortly

Will split the rest of the about us page in stakeholder 1 vs 2

Design Updates:
Working asynchronously on color ;
Anita & Sam working on the proposal ;

TBD: where Research should share findings

Bonnie took out all Code for America references in the One Sheet

UXR: Melissa doing refresh of the repository

Claudia: oops page question- not reminder page but when you’ve already gone too far:
Question: should the flow go to the homepage or the start of the letter generator?
Dev question? Should we do research on where the best spot?

How many clicks to get back?
Maria & Justin ; beginning of letter generator?
Then, first prompt or letter generator?

Tool tips, eventually?

Emma: give them the choice of they get to select where to go?

Maybe discuss at next week’s All Teams meeting?

There’s no timer on the EA side
Larger question: trauma-informed, how to get it in one go

Analicia: maybe adding in some additional helpful tips

Claudia: would you feel supported if someone from UXR helped with this? Help with user flow?
Existing design items that could be helpful for Claudia
Think about how we want to update those existing design items; do we want to include research on that?
Under Oops issue, there should be a link to the figma file
https://www.figma.com/file/hYqRxmBVtJbDv9DJXV6nra/Expunge-Assist-Main-Figma?type=design&node-id=2982-24928&mode=design
Claudia would like to partner up with research

Sylvia: presentation on Expunge Assist Key Terms
Will finish presentation next week, resuming at Slide 26
(Also: Record clearance and immigration important to also be aware of, since expungement might trigger deportation for undocumented or DACA folks)

Any questions in the interim, put in the github issue: #1353

New Meeting Items

FYI

  • Content update: waiting on PP from Bonnie, this is the main issue left for Stakeholder review together with implementing 3 key terms. Have moved into some Stakeholder 2 issues. Main priority is Content Guidelines which will strengthen important foundations
  • Design update: PP holdup, otherwise in Stakeholder 2. Exploring colors and options. On track to finishing milestone.
  • UXR update: several issues for stakeholder 2. Interviews with lawyers, repeal prop 47 on ballot, question around scope

Notes from Meeting

  • Present findings of UXR glossary to other teams #1353 Terminology Q&A and follow-up continuation from last week: Research outreach and advocacy has been a missing piece, many didn't know Record clearance was an umbrella term for expungement for example. Research info has been known only within the UXR team, outreach and sharing info like the presentation is helpful
  • Who is main user has been unclear for 3 years (at least) and remains a major blockage for decision making amongst the teams
  • Need: procedure around not losing information over time as team members shift in and out, onboarding and documentation are two key areas, how else can we maintain knowledge?
  • Content questions around nuances of 2 of 3 key terms:
  • What does the research say about expungement seeker versus person seeking expungement vs other terms? Discussed need to consider what's accessible, what's contextually understood, how do people see themselves, person first language? Petitioner is too formal. Justice impacted was already known to be a formal academic term and not for our context. Unclear answer, raises more questions
  • Personal statement vs declaration vs letter vs other terms listed? Discussed need to consider balance between legal term (declaration) and the contextually understood one, what's best for SEO, marketing/branding, reading level, accessibility, etc. Product was formally called Personal Statement Generator. Will users understand Declaration best or Personal statement or another term? Which is best for our product? Unclear answer, raises more questions
  • Expungement is the specific type of record clearance relevant for our California scope product. This terminology choice is clear
  • Need for research backed decisions for now that will develop as our product does. We expect product will be adjusted for our partner when we reach that stage
  • Content requests to follow up on this research to gain clarity and develop methods to choose 2 remaining key terms, and the develop correct and concise definitions
  • Anita shares an exercise to follow up on improving the Open Syncs: FigJam brainstorming. Focused on improving syncs by brainstorming solutions together. Main points for syncs: space should be more inclusive, working towards more research backed solutions, less admin/more standups and time for working through current issues/more presentations and workshops. Anita walked us through the exercise. There were many thoughts already coming up, but no time to do the exercise. Many liked the idea of a facilitator guide, and structuring agendas to help new facilitators build the skill. Next Friday we will do the exercise together, Sam will facilitate the exercise as Anita cannot attend. Anita asks us to look at the board async and fill in any notes (esp if you cannot attend a meeting), and we will continue next week.

Task Items

  • Review FigJam brainstorming exercise. Add any notes async (especially if you cannot attend next Friday)
