Problem Statement
Pacific Gas & Electric's internal contractor tools lacked ability to quickly and efficiently allocate water, electricity and gas services, creating misinterpretation of specifications, time and cost over-runs.
Goals
- Inventory existing substandard tools and derive future product specifications
- Work with senior stakeholders to understand previous problems and future goals
- Deploy v1.0 of revamped contractor tools
Design Research
- Survey existing user paths and outdated assets to discover ux and design opportunities
- Contribute to daily and weekly Agile process meetings and sprint retrospectives
- Establish common Zeplin collaborative environment to facilitate rapid, accurate communication
I reviewed current site experience and well documented design system library.
Design Process
