Case

Problem: Stratus was a reboot for a 20 year old Venues (Stadiums, Arenas, Ampitheaters, Convention Centers, Zoos, Theme Parks) product. The legacy product growing in relation to client requests has grown to the point of needing a new strategy and UX architecture to be used effectively.

Process:

  • Participated in on-site and remote interviews and observation sessions.

  • Created Personas to represent users to developers aligned with their user stories.
  • Created Post-it note based workflow model serving as a basis for MVP design for product

  • Sketched aspects of back office software to work with Product Owner to plan system design.

  • Designed wireframes to help guide development efforts.

  • Created paper prototypes (with plans to user-test) with site managers and system users.

  • Created UI specifications for early aspects of system visual design based on UI guidelines at NCR.

(May take 5-10 seconds to load, non-sketchy area is not part of the design, but from the multi-device icon next to Pages-till in it you can change the viewport size)

Solution & Outcomes: Product had been shelved midway through my work on the MVP.
