Planning and communication

Using the research we have gathered over time I create a backlog of tickets that then get prioritised using a prioritization matrix. These range from quick wins and small iterations, to larger projects that require a MVP, prototyping and iterate on. Liasing with the devs is with Jira and Teams as a communication tool.

“With 12 developers based in Kiev communication alongside defined specs and project understanding are important. We use jira and teams for communication and management.”

Communication

Using data in product design

I use data to monitor closely how the product and release are performing and to define improvements. It allows us to monitor all areas of the site and performance and watch out for shifts in behaviour and usage. The product team knows an any point how close we are to hitting targets and how tests are performing.

"KPIs, funnel performance, product improvements and measuring sucess are all part of our product design processes"

Measure success

Data to define improvements

Product design works closely with the data department to get reports and findings of releases and iterations.

  • Granular data reports
  • Usage of features
