CONTEXT
I was contracted to lead a UX transformation of the legacy engine’s life-tracking software. The process consisted of a redesign, plus the introduction of a new user-centered working approach for the development delivery team.
PROBLEM
The existing software, which had undergone years of piecemeal improvement without design guidance, had become incredibly hard to use. Both key business and user needs were poorly supported. Neither the majority of business stakeholders nor members of the delivery team were acquainted with the fundamentals of good UX and the importance of creating value for the software user.
SOLUTION
I incrementally redesigned each of the software’s key business functions, including the GUI as well as some of the processes behind them. I laid the foundation for the GUI framework and introduced user-centered design processes into the delivery team’s official product development and improvement workflows
APPROACH
I chose a highly visual way of working while maximizing connection and conversation between users, business stakeholders, and the development team.
LEARNING
I have witnessed and understood the power of a carefully prepared and well-executed design process within a large corporation. Such an approach has the power to drive not only technological change but also reshape the way business delivers value to its customers.
