Tribe Hub
Full Family organization in a close circle
THE
PROBLEM
One person runs a complex life routine. The routine mostly includes work, family, studies, after-school classes, social life, etc. and there are even events and tasks that are not in the regular routine.
For organizations, life is usually run by calendars, apps, reminders, and alerts so you don't forget anything important.
But what happens if you have to care for the routine of more than one person, like children and other family members?
OVERVIEW
My final project was part of UX/UI Design studies (2019).
Tribe Hub Is my idea for one app for a full family organization in a closed circle.
Tribe Hub coordinates the life routine of several people in one place where there are communication and access for everyone.
Tribe Hub adopts the method that all tribe members collaborate and thus the tribe functions effectively and in a full family synergy.
MY
SOLUTION
The circle is run by the tribe leader who opens the group. Family members coordinate all events, chores, and requests for family functioning in one app.
Assignments are divided between parents and children, depending on their age and abilities. The more children cooperate, the more they are rewarded accordingly.
The app encourages family synergy, where each member of the family has the option of taking a big or small part in the collaboration. In addition, it encourages children for mutual and family respect, independence, and taking responsibility for the unity of the tribe.
Tribe
Hierarchy
Every family member has permissions, obligations, and rights according to their age, that the tribe leader can define them as he or she sees fit. The app caters to and provides a solution for each family member.
Children of the tribe
Permissions according to age group
Children who have their own phones (unlike the little ones), have permission according to their age to help the family unit.
Children can put in requests for parents, take assignments, upload a school certificate that requires parents' signature, add groceries to the shopping list, etc.
The children have a vested interest in fulfilling the tasks that their parents send them and helping the family unit. The more they help, the more they are rewarded accordingly by earning in exchange for pocket money and "my time" (TV time, car time, etc.), which they see accumulate weekly on the dashboard according to the tribe's cooperation.
Head of Tribe - Group Managers (Parent/Parents)
Full permissions
The tribe calendar synchronizes with the tribe leader's personal external calendar (for example Google Calendar) in which he or she can see all of their appointments, along with the family agenda.
The head of the tribe has to approve tasks that require them, such as taking the child to kindergarten, to an after-school class, or to the doctor… for the parent who approves, the task will enter his tribe calendar and the task will receive a status that it is "in progress."
Parents can take care of the task themselves or pass it on to children with permission. If none of the children approve of the task, it will remain open and at risk for the attention of the parent. If approved, the task will start alerting the child and parent as the deadline approaches.
HELLO, I'm Sharon
and this is my story
I'm Sharon Golan (38), a restaurant manager, lives in Herzliya, married to Yoav + three children
Monday morning, Yoav and I received the regular morning alert for the open (at-risk) tasks. I took it upon myself to collect the little one from kindergarten at 16:30 on my way home from work.
As soon as I got to my office, I received a calendar alert to confirm an urgent meeting at 16:15.
I also received an alert from TribeHub, about two plans that are conflicting at the same time!
So... I opened TribeHub:
1
Passed on the task to Ori and Yael, who are old enough to pick up the little one from kindergarten
2
I got notified that Ori took the mission (task)
3
As the time approaches, I was alerted that the task may be at risk
4
I opened TribeHub map to find Ori's location and already saw 20 min timer for a risk mission
5
I clicked Ori's icon on the map and saw him at his friend Daniel. Ori needed to be prepared for leave so the task will be performed
6
I could have re-sent an alert or even send a message, but at this point, I chose to call directly from the app
