Web-based SaaS for standardized user story management—AI suggestions, hierarchy, and real-time collaboration for engineering teams
URUS is a web-based product designed to standardize and streamline user story management for cross-functional engineering teams. I led the product design from discovery to high-fidelity UI, ensuring usability for complex workflows like AI-powered story suggestions, hierarchical structuring, and real-time collaboration.
Challenge:
The primary challenge was to translate a highly technical product vision into a user-friendly interface. The platform needed to support complex logic like AI suggestions, hierarchical structures, and collaboration features — while remaining accessible to non-technical users across different engineering disciplines.
What We Did:
We designed the MVP for a SaaS platform that enables engineering teams to collaboratively define user stories with standardized terminology. The scope included complex features such as role-based dashboards, AI-assisted user story generation, and CSV exports of structured data. Our focus was on balancing technical functionality with intuitive, minimalistic interfaces for engineers and project managers.

We began with product discovery sessions, mapped out user personas, and created detailed user flows. The first high-fidelity compositions show how dense product surfaces stay legible when teams juggle hierarchy, status, and shared context—core to a credible UX case study SaaS dashboard experience.
Early UI explorations translate research into a clear desktop-first layout—so engineers and PMs can scan hierarchy and story health without losing narrative detail. This stage anchors the product design portfolio story before wireframes and the full design system.
Wide compositions show how structured data, collaboration, and export-oriented flows coexist—supporting teams that need consistent language across roles while keeping actions within reach.
The focus was on simplifying complex processes into clear, actionable steps before moving into detailed design.
The final UI combined a clean, professional look with high usability, optimized for desktop-first usage. A modular design system was developed to ensure consistency across all screens, including dashboards, editors, and collaborative features.
Paired frames show how complementary views scale—keeping review density manageable on large surfaces while preserving focus in narrower compositions.
Square hero-style captures summarize end-to-end journeys so stakeholders can validate terminology, hierarchy, and collaboration affordances in one read.
Additional wide layouts reinforce continuity between navigation, search, and operational metrics—reducing context switching for power users.
Companion frames document table-heavy interactions and supporting panels so engineering can ship predictable spacing, alignment, and hierarchy.
We designed an AI-powered assistant to help users generate and refine user stories faster and more accurately. The assistant provides smart suggestions based on project context, identifies terminology mismatches, and highlights potential gaps in requirements.
Later wide compositions stress-test the system under richer content—ensuring the same tokens and components hold when charts, lists, and calls-to-action share the canvas.
Large square artboards bundle flagship modules so marketing and product can share a single asset that still reads at a glance.
A final square captures pattern density—typography, tables, chips, and AI accents—so future features inherit a consistent baseline without rework.
The last wide frame ties the narrative together—showing how modular layouts, collaboration, and AI assistance converge into one product story worth shipping.
