Manage Your Mobile Lines
Our design effort overcame tight timelines and limited research options to help Spectrum Mobile's customer base grow by 51%.
Process
My Challenge
-
We had no centralized design team. I was an isolated designer on my team.
-
We had a 6-month timeline.
Overcoming Through Collaboration
-
I created a new informal team to work together.
-
We saved lots of time by deciding which requirements belonged on whose pages and tried to align our designs for consistency.
Discover
-
Worked with Product and Business to ID existing functionality.
-
Studied the current journey.
-
Studied the competition.
-
Gathered existing data and research.
-
Got to know the team.
-
Understood dev constraints.
Problem Statements
-
Customers needed a centralized way to manage their mobile lines, to save frustration and time.
-
The business required parity with existing features.
-
The business also needed this functionality delivered in record time because mobile was their fastest growing business and held huge potential profit.
Concept Iteration
-
Created a concept and iterated with the design team on it.
-
Aligned functionality with the dev team.
-
Conducted user research with our research partners. Improved concepts from results.
-
Overcame research constraints by applying standards and heuristics and by validating with SMEs, devs, product owners, business owners and executives.
-
Created info hierarchy with our content designer.
Final Solution
-
Provided high-fi screens for all the use cases to development.
-
The same design worked for both our app and our responsive web portal.
-
Delivered fast by using less documentation and by building shared understanding.
Results
-
Our team met the tight deadline! (Not many teams did.) The feature launched Summer 2022.
-
Charter now has 5.9 million customers paying for Spectrum Mobile, an annual increase of 51.8 percent. (April 2022-April 2023).*
-
Spectrum customers are successfully using these screens to manage their lines today.
-
I had a hand in making the case for consistency and a centralized design team, which the business then prioritized and implemented.
