Process
Product Brainstorming
Product Owner + UX Architect + Content Strategist + UX Design


User-centered design brainstorming detailed the customer journey, built empathy and prioritized feature needs.
It was also the most accessible point to weave together product ideas and business objectives to solve customer needs.



Design Concepting
Product Owner + UX Design



Blue sky thinking and advancing design styles with the product owner helped materialize a common vision.
Note: Due to confidentiality, concept examples cannot be displayed at this time.



Education  + Business Integration + Phase Definition
Product Owner + UX Architect + UX Design



It was time to further break concepts down into phased business objectives. Developing visuals helped sell the idea and sequencing to other business units - enabling them understand product integration, development requirements, and estimated costs.  



Formal Product Definition + Business Requirements = Kick-Off
Product Owner + UX Architect + Business Analyst + Development



The product owner and UXA met with our Business Analyst and Development teams to identify functional business requirements and any API limitations. User stories were written and vetted across impacted teams.





Wire-framing + Design Process
UX Architect + Content Strategist + UX Design



Wireframes were developed by the UXA.

After a series of reviews with the design team and development, they were handed off to UX Design to translate into high-fidelity composites, integrating visual language with Content Strategy.

Multiple design teams, representing their individual platform needs, collaborated to create design unity across all customer touch points.

Semi-Agile Development & UAT
Product Owner + UX Architect + UX Design + Content Strategy



Final designs were reviewed with key stakeholders for usability, legal, and development approvals. Additional deliverables were sent to training and communications units.

Development began sprint cycles and held regularly scheduled demos to review work progress and identify any changes needed.
Once development efforts neared completion, Design validation occurred through numerous UAT sessions. Findings were prioritized against product functionality and development resourcing.  Deliverables during this time ranged from updated comps to redline documentation as needed.



Launch
Product Owner + UX Architect + Content Strategist + UX Design



Design, along with other product team members, validated the final product on the live site and identified any visual or functional defects to be prioritized into future product enhancements.
