Product Design / Concept project

CSUSB maintenance system

A two-sided mobile concept for reporting campus issues and coordinating repairs.

This concept separates the maintenance experience into reporter and technician views. Students can document an issue, add location information, track a report, and communicate about updates. Staff can review incoming reports, assign work, update status, and read feedback. A later redesign sharpened the role split and identified unresolved questions such as duplicate reports and report categorization.

CSUSB maintenance system feature map for student and staff roles
The audited feature map separates student reporting tasks from staff triage and maintenance coordination without exposing identity data.

Overview

This concept separates the maintenance experience into reporter and technician views. Students can document an issue, add location information, track a report, and communicate about updates. Staff can review incoming reports, assign work, update status, and read feedback.

Decision

Separate the two roles

A later redesign sharpened the distinction between the student reporting flow and the staff coordination flow so each side could focus on its own tasks.

Design scope

The project includes user flows, a feature map, wireframes, visual design, mockups, and a prototype. The screens propose location selection, report assignment, status updates, communication, and feedback without claiming live Google Maps or real-time system integration.
