* HARP (HCQIS Access Roles and Profile) is a secure identity management portal provided by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Creating an account via HARP provides users with a user ID and password that can be used to sign into many CMS applications. It also provides a single location for users to modify their user profile, change their password, update their challenge question, and add and remove two-factor authentication devices.

Following the launch of HARP's MVP, a critical observation is the absence of a dedicated landing page after login. Currently, users are directed to the User Profile page upon login. A primary objective is to address this gap by providing an enhanced landing page that better caters to user needs. To achieve this, research focuses on understanding the specific features users expect to find on the landing page, ensuring a seamless and effective user experience. Additionally, aim to gain insights into the motivations behind user visits, particularly distinguishing between Security Officials and non-Security Official users, allowing us to tailor the landing page accordingly. Furthermore, validate a dashboard concept as the initial landing page to assess its ability to meet user expectations and fulfill their needs.
