This category details the step-by-step approach taken during the project, including research, planning, design, development, testing, and optimization phases.
Research & Planning
Using pre-existing market research, I was able to identify existing challenges, barriers and user preferences. Through the defined target audience I was about to identify key features based on user needs, journey mapping and market trends. This was all brought together in a UX Lean Canvas.
Design & Prototyping
Collaborated with the Head of Product at Firmcheck and lead engineer to create intuitive user interfaces. Iteratively refined designs based on how we wanted to slice up the project to release iteratively to our audience.
Implementation
Leveraged agile development methodologies the Lead engineer and I prioritised feature development based on user feedback and technical feasibility.
Testing & Optimization
Conducted rigorous testing across various devices and platforms to ensure compatibility and performance, with a focus on desktop, as this is more most dominantly used device. Iteratively optimised the project based on user needs and changes in the industry. Resulting in positive outcomes for all.
The final product empowered prominent UK accounting firms to create, document, and control their customised risk assessments for diverse client categories in a single location. The risk assessment template builder enables them to fabricate completely bespoke risk analysis templates for their clients, ensuring they can be custom-tailored to meet specific needs.
