Problem Statement

Problem Statement

Product was worried about feature usage, we have a bunch of cool tools for our employees to use but we saw low usage. 


We need to make these tools more apparent to our users so they feel more in control of their schedules and time and enhance future features we have on the roadmap.

Brand New Team

Brand New Team

The most notable challenge I faced with this team was working with brand-new partners to get the work done. I was new and had never worked with the Connect team before and it was all brand new. The development team on their side was also brand new to Connect.

Onboarding New Features

Onboarding New Features

This project helped us to realize that we need to explain our features when we create new ones for our employees. We should think about what needs to be introduced and show how these new features operate instead of assuming our employees will figure it out. Designing onboarding experiences from now on needs to be considered when launching new features.
