This document outlines the UX Designer II take-home assessment for System Initiative. It is designed to verify:
- Your proficiency with high-fidelity prototyping and user flow creation
- Your ability to conceptualize and design features that enhance collaboration
- Your capacity to make thoughtful design decisions and clearly articulate their value
We use a take-home assessment to allow you to work in your most productive environment. Feel free to use any tools, resources, or references that you need. We recommend spending no more than 4 hours on this assessment. While the scope of this exercise may exceed the time allotted, we aim to understand how you prioritize and break down complex problems into manageable deliverables.
