Jurassic UX: Design Best Practices for Legacy Software
summary
Presents three UX case studies tackling legacy software: a document manager received a visual UI refresh that preserved existing interactions but reduced visual noise; a project-creation flow replaced chained pop-ups with a single-page creation form, cutting task time and adopted by the client; and an airport-emergency dashboard moved from a noisy table to activatable columns so operators toggle visible vehicle columns (a proposed card view was rejected and the table simplified). The process combined on-site observation, developer collaboration, Crazy Eights ideation, and prioritized incremental, measurable changes.
