Based on a company-wide survey, interviews, and workshops I conducted, I developed a short- and long-term collaboration strategy along with the product manager and tech lead. The following projects are a direct result of this work.
Question: How can scientists find and share expertise more easily?
Methods: log analysis, interviews, literature review
Visualization I created with an engineer showing expertise 'clusters'
Methods: Lab visits, interviews, workshops, surveys, user testing
A prototype I tested with scientists
Methods: Interviews, personas, workshops, user testing
An HTML/CSS prototype I created and tested with scientists
Methods: Competitive analysis, interviews, and workshops
A "northern star" prototype I created to help guide the work moving forward
After evaluating the results of this work, our team received recognition from senior leadership on the importance of collaboration tools for drug discovery. Additional resources were added to the product development team to follow through on the roadmap that I had helped define through research.
