MTS — Geolocation

A 2-week audit and backlog prioritisation cut pre-release design defects by 30%; a usability test saved ~a month of development.

TL;DR

−30% design defects, ~a month of development saved

  • 01Audit in 2 weeks → a prioritised product backlog before release
  • 02A usability test before development cut an unneeded feature (~a month saved)
  • 03Scrum master: +20% sprint task completion

Before

An MTS high-precision geolocation B2B service heading to market. Several industry landing pages, a client portal, a partner CRM, an equipment back office. The only designer on a 20-person team.

The task

Refine the backlog and prepare a complex product for release — without quality loss at the seams between departments.

What I did

Ran a full product audit in 2 weeks → a prioritised backlog. Initiated a usability test of a key feature before development started. Took on the Scrum master role to sync the team.

Result

−30% design defects at release. The usability test showed a feature wasn’t needed → ~a month of development saved. +20% sprint task completion as Scrum master.
