2. DEFINE

2.1 Problem statements

- I am a manager from the Tax department

5. TESTING

5.1 Post-design, we conducted multiple usability sessions

- We reserved 30mins every day with a new person in each department for feedback on

designs.

- We made app ambassadors in each department. These employees understood the

system the most and were the go-to person for all questions the other employees might

have related to the new app.


5.2 Evaluating the success metrics

- Number of Schedules per week increased by 25%.

- Errors and drop-offs in task completion were reduced by 70% and 50%, respectively.

- Customer satisfaction score: Improvement
