Agility Project Evolution: Workshop collage capturing project milestones.

Challenge

The intention was to replace the existing on-premise product that Agility was using internally and make it cloud-based, open to all the organizations around the world based on a subscription plan. Business processes across sectors and functions become inefficient with growing manual interactions, slow issue resolutions, inflexible and unresponsive systems. A 360° enterprise management platform was needed that could transform business through efficient processes and an experience promising comprehensive workflow management.
In this context, facilitating broad visibility, reduction in process errors, facilitating easy decision making across the platform are a few of the business benefits which were required to be embedded. A requirement of better monitoring and standardization of processes that could improve consistency across geography, channels, and divisions were perceived as challenges to address in building the entire journey of the application.

Our Methodology

Our engagement was marked by beginning to understand the needs of the relevant stakeholders, users, exploring factors which the users might care about most. The intention was to capture user personas & their expectations from the platform and mapping scenarios and environments for using the platform.

Understanding the application workflow, extracting key workflows, and detailing them we moved to classify competitors conducted a competitor analysis. Deducing USPs of the platform and proposing features to outperform, we collaborated with Agility to explore design directions.

The workshop insights presented to other stakeholders led to generating insights creating decisions on deciding governance models and data sharing mediums. Team members were asked to come up with the key flow for the customer which would capture all the critical milestones to prioritize key features.
