The Problem

The Problem

The Problem

  • Users reported that the workflow module feels unclear, complex, and inefficient. The design has a steep learning curve and doesn’t align well with user needs, lacking an intuitive flow to guide them through creating workflows smoothly.


  • Furthermore, the onboarding process, exploration of capabilities, workflow creation process, and testing are not as user-friendly as they could be.


  • UX issues had led to a need for a redesign of the workflow to improve user experience, efficiency, and overall satisfaction.

User Analysis

User Analysis

User Analysis

We conducted user interviews to gather feedback and uncover workflow pain points. These insights clarified where the experience can be made more intuitive and now form the foundation of our redesign, giving us a fresh perspective on why and how to improve the workflow.

Persona

Persona

Drawing from user interviews and journey mapping, we created detailed personas that clarified our target users and their needs.

I’m just trying to understand the basics of the platform, and I really need a simple, reassuring onboarding. I’m not fully confident about the technical complexity yet, so I depend a lot on clear introductory documentation to help me get started.

Competitor Research

We studied the workflows of major players like Onfido, WithPersona, Metamap, Zapier, Tines, Maze, Primer.io, and Pipedream. We learned from their strengths and weaknesses to refine our own workflow.

We learned a lot from their approaches and came away with solid ideas for our own.

To nail down the visual style for the redesign, we put together a moodboard and asked for feedback on the overall aesthetic direction.

Workflow Redesign Approaches

Workflow Redesign Approaches

Workflow Redesign Approaches

We compared three redesign directions: the Node-Based Workflow, which let us make quick iterative improvements; the Top-to-Bottom Workflow, which offered a full fresh redesign but required heavy effort; and the Chatbot Workflow, the most intelligent option but also the most complex to build and maintain.

Final UI Design

We believe this redesign solves key pain points and delivers a more intuitive, efficient experience.

  • Improved Onboarding: Clear guidance and interactive tutorials make it easy for new users to get started.

  • Smarter Workflow Builder: A simpler, drag-and-drop builder with real-time error checks helps users create workflows effortlessly.

  • Better Testing & Debugging: Enhanced tools let users validate and refine workflows before integration.

  • Simplified Integrations: A cleaner, step-by-step integration flow supports multiple platforms with ease.

Conclusion

We redesigned Bureau’s workflow module through an eight week, user focused process involving interviews, testing and competitor analysis. By identifying major pain points such as complexity, unclear decision flows and limited visibility, we created a more intuitive, flexible no code workflow builder that is easier to learn, faster to use and better aligned with real user needs.
