Design Goals

  • Quick access & group creation AND more complex group creation need to be supported
  • Group-centric rather than tool-centric
  • Feedback to users about what's happening all along the way
  • Easy/intuitive to use
  • Roles need to map to real world/how work gets done
  • Allow single person to have several roles across contexts
  • Don't make users leave their working context to create groups
  • Consistency across the application where it makes sense
  • Don't require users to understand roles (system roles)
