About this project

Challenges to the team
When I joined this team, the focus was on planning for the implementation of Product Standardize 2.0. The product itself had been initially built in 2017 and had undergone continuous improvements, resulting in increased adoption by various city councils. The product had already achieved a level of standardization known as Standardize 1.0 about a year before my arrival.
However, the previous standardization efforts had some limitations, particularly regarding the bidding process involving Service Requirers and Service Suppliers. The process lacked specificity, and there were insufficient details provided for classifying services. This lack of clarity made it challenging for both parties to effectively engage in the bidding process.
My actions
Within a span of two days, I immersed myself in the product by act as the Service Requirer, Service Suppliers, and Testing Staff to use our product. This allowed me to gain familiarity with their respective user journeys and understand their steps in the deals.
I also delved into the history of the product, reviewing the progress made in previous years. Notably, the product had successfully collaborated with three main city councils, establishing a solid partnership with each of them. Moreover, marketing team was revealed that two additional city councils were set to join the collaboration in the upcoming year (2022).
Furthermore, I need to learned that the idea and leadership behind the development of Standardize 2.0 had been spearheaded by one of the product managers within our team. This indicated a proactive approach towards improving the product and meeting the evolving needs of users and partner organizations.
