1. Discovery
The challenge
The challenge of redesigning the verse was to increase engagement within the community, we needed to find a way to easily give users the opportunity to share what they feel like is important or they feel passionate about.
2. Definition
Persona
Empathy map
Empathy map gives us an insight into what our users say, thinks, does and feels. It is a snapshot of how our user experiences the problem we are trying to solve.
Christine - user insight
- Christine needs a way to browse for news and articles related to her interests and needs.
- Christine needs a convenient way of searching for keywords that she finds interesting.
Journey map
I use Journey maps to improve products that already exist. Because I have built empathy for our users, we can tell a story from their point of view.
Solving for pain
After seeing some pain that Christine is experiencing we were able to give her some design opportunity. We voted on solutions that we believed could relieve the most pain for Christine.
Prioritizing pain
Here we prioritize the different solutions as a team, we make a hierarchy accordingly. Here we have an impact - effort chart. We vote from a strategy, user, and technical view. Which of these solutions will make the most impact with the least effort? This helps us with scoping the project.
3. Ideation
Now that we know our users and what they need, it is time to dive deeper into the business side of the problem. We used a google design sprint 2.0 to solve this problem ahead efficiently with minimal risk.
Voting tree
These are the challenges by hierarchy that we would like to overcome.
Final long term goal:
We will focus on this long term goal for the whole sprint.
Final sprint question:
We will focus on reaching this question for the whole sprint.
Big ideas
Big ideas were about gathering insight thus far and generating ideas of our own. We tried to meet the long term goal and the sprint questions.
Sprint day 2
Solution sketches
After sketching out the ideas we voted for the final ideas that will bring the most value to the verse.
Winning sketch
This solution sketch is a hub where users can read and write about stories that they feel passionate about. This solution also met the long term goal and the sprint question at hand.
Sprint day 3
Sprint prototype
With this prototype, our goal was to not test the aesthetics of the site, but rather we wanted to test the user flow and the idea.
