The Challenge - User Pain Points We Will Address
O Too much data - I am drowning in itO I have three or four monitors and I still don’t have enough
space to workO Where in the he**am I?O Where did that one go?O What the he** am I looking at?O I can't see different sets of stuff per view, so I keep having to
toggle stuff on and offO Kingdom makes me use extensive naming conventions to
know what the he** I am looking atO Too many windows, where is the one I wantO Want to more easily share my stuff with coworkersO I have absolutely no time to "learn new things“O It takes too damn long to show stuff
This is a recurring problem in Kingdom – with the increasing complexity in the data we need more info around each object . Since there is a general lack of info boxes for this purpose we need to put it into the name.
Therefore all object name boxes should be expandable so we can read the whole name.
JUST SAW THIS IN A USER GENERATED BUG ATTACHMENT THIS MORNING
We need more space for longer names – or flexible windows.
User Tasks We Will Support
O Manage what and how they will see “stuff”
O Use the tool to do my “real work”O Help them “sell” their workO Help them share / collaborate

yours O Sharing O Pushing and pulling
Help them organizeO Automation

O Adapt the UI for those “Non oil finding but required” tasks
Help them find things NOWO The Simplest search
O Two way highlighting and zoom
Help them find things – “give me all you got”
O Let me spread out and use all the info I have to make a good choice
O VisualsO Allow me to slice and dice as desiredO Let me take up space by showing

Help them turn on and off stuff
O Everyday – all day – SIMPLY HAVE TO MAKE THIS WORK AND DIRT SIMPLE
Do not lose stuff ( lose functionality / break
expectations)O Keep behaviors from the old treeO Keep capabilities from the old tree
Visualize thisO View roll oversO Visuals – Logs, etc? (certainly in next
gen stuff) O Horizon, grid, fault – mapsO Well – VSD?
Where did this go / where am I
O Relationships – how is this being used
O On viewsO From views to appO What am I looking at? (Breadcrumbs)
“IF – THEN”O For this selection, show what my
next steps could be
If you only have a screwdriver, hammering nails sucks
O Adapt UI to current needsO Hide completely O Search onlyO List only O Full dealO Panes come and panes go, “but the
story is the same”O Make it EASY and INTUITIVE to switch
between these modes
Why don’t we ship the Preview?
O Several people are using it and we have not heard any complaints
What's wrong with the old one?
O Let’s match it and call it a day, that is what this project is about correct?
O See next slide “I have not read the stories”
You can’t do everythingO Context - Arms wavingO This is too complicated, I have not
read the stories but they mostly suck
Why don’t we ask the users?
O I have a good idea, let’s see what the users want
Windows Explorer Windows Explorer Windows ExplorerO Everyone loves windows explorer. I
Know because I do.
O Everyone must love getting their teeth cleaned because they all have done it many times.
Daylights A’ BurningO Hurry up dammit . Didn’t you finish
already?
