Preface

Bharat Rohan is a knowledge company empowering Indian farmers with extraordinary in-depth understanding of their lands and crop health using airborne Hyper spectral Imagery, data mining and analytics technology. Bharat Rohan collects valuable data by flying our UAV (or drone) platforms equipped with Hyper spectral Cameras and transforms it into actionable information to generate early pest alerts, conduct crop nutrition diagnostics, detect weed anomalies and perform yield predictions. This ensures reduction in losses for farming community and increase in profit margins.

Challenge

7. UAV Web portal

It was really a big project for us. A tight deadline. Keeping the project direction on the right path was in itself a challenge.

Research and Ideation

Building products is a creative and sometimes messy process. It requires entrepreneurs and product managers to balance coming up with moonshot and ambitious ideas, while prioritizing them to make sure they are aligned with the mission of their company and solving real scalable problems.

After many meetings with between Amandeep sir (Entrepreneurs) and Project Manager (Yash Srivastava). Initial requirement that the team needed to do over a long period of 6 months were laid out. The basic wireframing of the App and Web portal was done by Yash sir.

Because I was not involved in initial conversation It became very tough for me to get a sense of what is really all this and what is required of me. What is the problem we are actually trying to solve here. It took me a lot of time to get a gist of all the things that needed be done. After lots of discord and lots of disagreement. Eventually we (Me and Yash sir) get to a point what is what and how to move forward. Just I didn't knew challenges were awaiting for me on personal level.

Tense Meetings

Use Cases

To identify problems and design solutions and product to solve them, I started understanding the project by carefully defining a Use Case Design. Use case offers a simple framework to make sure that we cover the core aspects we need to start iterate on our use cases. It also give us some focus on a really important question that sometimes slips out in this process among the technological innovations, the deadlines and other priorities. I created a story about each type of user. What interact with the app and what steps they will take to achieve their goal. Let it be farmers, agents, admin and scientist (agronomist) who will be provide farms solution.

User Stories

With the goal to provide a more personalized back office user experience, the Customer was looking to introduce a new back office system – an admin panel – to its hotel booking application that would support instant and hassle-free changing of the website style (colors and fonts) for different regions. The challenge was to create a reusable module not tied to any particular technology for the Customer to implement it in other projects as well.

Farmers App

I started working on App ui design after developing a basic wireframing for all the product to be developed i.e. Android App, Web portal and admin panel and how things are connected. The wireframe stuff was all done by Yash Srivastava(Project Manager) in discussion with all team including me. So after basic wireframe I started designing basic ui elements for the app with researching every stuff from starting from users to business to people who will manage all this.

Learnings

It was really a Big project for us. Keeping a tight deadline. Keeping the Project direction on the right path was in itself a challnege. Their were times when we thought things will sort out in 2 3days but that took us months and It was just one thing. Meeting become stressful, people get demotivated. Keeping the Enthusiasm alive was the biggest challenge. We did it anywhow. This project was the one of its own kind. Greatest learning curve for all the team. For developers for designers for Project managers.

The greatest challenge was not the project, but keeping the enthusiasm alive during all those times. I pretty much saw myself and people losing it but again rising with new energy to make all this possible. Thanks💚

Lets do something awesome together.

Don't forget to appreciate.
