Innovation & Product Design
Empowering users with visual programming
What we were working on
A graphical framework that enables its different audiences to model data, business processes, and customer experiences using a visual programming paradigm.
Modernize the graphical framework to work and feel like modern software, and make new feature development more human again.
What I did
- Took initiative and assumed responsibility as interim product owner
- Built a new scrum team
- Identified stakeholder needs
- Conducted user interviews with Business Analysts, and consultants
- Got buy-in and support from executive leadership, and stakeholders
- Planned epics, user stories, communicated vision
- Designed visuals, icons, and UI elements
- Designed interactions and layout algorithms
- Considered ergonomics, and localization
- Design for different modalities/input methods
- Tested prototypes and iterations and implemented users’ feedback
Outcome
- Improved performance and scalability from initial 50 to 500+ objects
- Faster performance through optimized loading times (between 89% and 97% faster depending on browser vendor)
- Reduction of the lines of code by 70% (down from 102,800 to 30,850 lines)
