Assistant to self-serve Proof Point evidencing
Turning a laborious manual task into a self-serve assistant on the Provenance web-app
One of Provenance’s most popular Proof Points - “Recyclable Packaging” - was quite inconvenient for brands to get. It was a confusing and tedious process to understand the criteria, identify the packaging components, assign them to the correct products and generate the evidence required to get the Proof Point accepted. Our goal was to translate this manual process, which required a lot of time from our customer success team and the user themself, into a self-serve assistant accessible to users in the web-app.
I managed the process and carried out most of the end-to-end design of this new feature from the alignment and requirements phase through to validation with customers, refinement and prep for build.
The Discovery Process - a brief overview
Alignment: collaborating with the Product Manager to align via the Mission Briefing document
Research: conversations with customers and our customer success team to learn how to achieve good UX as well as exploring current processes and how we use existing structures to improve feasibility
Ideation: wire-framing user journeys and testing low-fi prototypes internally and externally
Creation: working with our UI designer to translate wireframes into final user interfaces
Validation: walkthroughs with customers to gather insights on UI/UX and collect final bits of feedback on items that need improving
Refinement: refine and prep for collaboration with engineers to build
The discovery Toolbox in our Notion Workspace was created and is maintained by me, to serve as a library for general workshops and tools to use in the discovery process
Feature Walkthrough
Project Details
This is a live feature of the Provenance Platform. My responsibility was to go through the discovery (Alignment, Research, Ideation) and manage the design (Creation, Validation, Refinement) stages of this feature. Apart from me, there was a Product Manager involved, who came in at certain point to collaborate on requirements and provided feedback to proposed solutions; a UI designer who translated my wireframes into hi-fi UI screens; and an engineer who advised on feasibility throughout the full process and built the feature once it was validated.
