Design process and sprint cycle adopted

Process

Process

Discover: Conduct discovery workshops, analysing existing research and analytics, conducted moderated testing of existing platforms and calls with colleagues to gather insights.


Define: Establish the project's goals and objectives. Create foundational research assets such as user archetypes, journey maps, user flows, and internal process diagrams.


Develop: Designing concepts for IA, journeys, flows, and wireframes. Including regular, critique sessions formal reviews across the team and the stakeholders.


Test: Conduct user testing session to validate the concepts and obtain user feedback from the users
Iterate: Writing test reports and sharing with the team and refining the design


Deliver: UX handoff to product designers(component design) and developers(tech feasibility)

IA structure validation & testing

IA structure validation & testing

  • Mapped analytics on RSA brochureware.

  • Ran card-sorting with underwriters and broker support team on usertesting.com.

  • We did tree testing with brokers to further refine the structure

  • This completes the triangulation. Making it a robust way to test the IA

Outcome & reflection

Outcome & reflection

  • We reduced the time required for brokers to locate specific policy information during our latest round of testing.

  • We introduced a document library based on direct broker feedback, which would resulted in a significant reduction in support requests.

  • We passed AA accessibility standards during end-to-end testing, requiring only minor component-level refinements.

  • I learned testing with even five users can reveal the majority of usability issues, proving that small-scale iterative testing is better than one large study at the end.

  • Accessibility should be integrated from the wireframing stage rather than treated as a final checklist or add-on feature.
