Streamlined Integration.
Working on site for a Fortune 500 healthcare company on an agile team, we were tasked with the implementation of a new platform, consolidating hundreds of websites across multiple brands and combining them into one cohesive new system.
As many as
300 different websites
could be integrated into the
new unified platform
As the
design lead
on the project's platform team, I am highly focused on
systems development and platform capabilities
to support front-end users, back-end users, and future users.
As the project has evolved, so has the team structure. Currently, there are three distinct teams. Two are focused on separate, distinct front-end user groups. The third--the Platform Team-- exists not only to support the user groups of the other two teams, but also as a framework for other web applications that are built on it.
Process
Working in two-week sprints, cross-functional teams emphasized easy goal-setting and collaborative solutions.
From the beginning, the client had a clear vision of how the desktop site should look.
To support the vision for the front end, extensive UX work was required including
research and audits
,
user flows
,
wireframes
and
prototyping
