How B2B project management app design optimized task management and team collaboration
Project:
the project
Challenge:
GoPingu is a centralized platform for creating, organizing, and managing tasks within structured workflows, designed to unite teams and drive productivity. While the MVP had a preliminary design, it lacked the polish and usability needed for enterprise adoption.
The client approached Lazarev.agency to elevate the platform through a full redesign, applying B2B project management app design principles to enhance user experience, improve team collaboration, and ensure the solution meets the needs of modern business operations.
Approach:
In a competitive market with a complex product, we applied B2B project management app design to make work simpler and more effective for teams. Our focus was threefold: crafting an intuitive interface anyone could use, turning routine workflows into an engaging, interactive experience, and adding smart automation to save time, helping teams work smarter and get more done.
The Project’s
Discovery Phase
Experience strategy
The essence of our UX design strategy was to redefine task management, shifting it from mundane routine to a delightful endeavor. This transformation was achieved through a symphony of automations that streamline processes and a design that invites interaction, establishes connections with workers and infuses a playful sense of enjoyment.
Staying on top of the projects
We empower workers to orchestrate tasks and subtasks seamlessly in a foolproof checklist format, ensuring they tackle the right task at the opportune moment. Employing a Kanban-inspired layout, a familiar sight for many, we expedite user familiarity with the interface, minimizing any potential bounce rate.

Effortlessly managing projects
Understanding the multitude of mundane tasks that burden project managers, our aim was to empower project managers to effortlessly track and manage projects without being weighed down by unnecessary actions.
With this goal in mind, we consolidated all essential information, such as progress and deadlines, into the project card and  provided an intuitive editing option right on the dashboard, through user-friendly pop-ups.
Surfing the project data hub
Our inner project page adheres to established UX principles, enhancing user acquisition. Within this interface, we offer two distinct views: kanban and list view. These views cater to diverse user personas with varying tasks to accomplish within the inner project page.
Managing team members
Considering the intricate nature of team management, particularly for projects involving the contributions of numerous experts, we introduced a Team module. It ensures an equitable distribution of workloads, leaving no project without designated team members. Managers gain the capability to seamlessly add or remove team members, assign specific roles, and perform other essential functions to optimize team efficiency.
Streamlining work operations on mobile
Given the widespread use of mobile devices, it became imperative for us to develop a mobile version of the GoPingu app. However, our goal was not only to adapt to this mobile landscape but also to make the transition smoother for users encountering new UX patterns.
To achieve this, we thoughtfully retained certain UX elements from the desktop interface and seamlessly integrated them with the standardized mobile UX, creating a harmonious user experience across platforms.
