A Design Science Case Using Microsoft Teams and Planner
Summary:
This project addresses the challenge of fragmented academic collaboration, where research often suffers from scattered communication, version confusion, and high administrative overhead. Using a design science approach, I developed and evaluated a structured digital environment leveraging Microsoft Teams, Planner, and OneDrive. The system improves visibility into the research pipeline, reduces administrative burden, and provides a scalable, replicable model for research collaboration — especially valuable for early-career faculty and research groups.
