Process
Preparatory Research: Digging deeper into the client’s perspective of what the research problem is, their context, perceptions, internal conflicts, or interplays that may emerge during the project. Also gathering all the existing data.
Secondary Research: Qualitative and quantitative, market research, trend analyses, customer data, and any kind of data available within the organization.
User Research: Online ethnography, participant & non-participant observation (dealerships), contextual interviews, in-depth interviews, and focus groups.
Personas: grouping people with shared interests, common behavior patterns, or demographic and geographical similarities.
Journey maps: Visualizing existing experiences (current-state journey) and new experiences that are planned but don’t yet exist (future-state journey maps).
System maps: Visualizing the ecosystem around the service, physical, and digital products. Including stakeholder maps, business blueprint, and ecosystem maps.
Brainstorming: Used to find a starting points for the project, to get to grips with the theme as a group, and to widen the number of alternatives.
Prototyping: Low-fidelity method to prototype and test physical objects and environments that are part of the service experience.
Wireframing: Schematics of the layout and arrangement of web pages, including navigational structures as well as content elements.
High-fidelity UI: Finalizing the design and team approval.
To find answers for our early discovery questions, I first had to find a few communities to research and analyze. I also started talking to anyone who would be a stakeholder wherever we went, and was able to put together picture of how the system usually works.
| The research below is based on some of my conversations with the stakeholders I came across
At the first community they used a traditional way of reporting issues. Members of the community would visit the concierge and let them know directly what the problem or the issue that they had was.
Potential Customers: When I first began exploring the challenges faced by potential clients, I initiated conversations to understand whether they had ever encountered issues they wished could be resolved. While some didn't express much concern, the majority revealed a common frustration: identifying critical problems within property-related documents. Often, the individual responsible for identifying these pitfalls is left overwhelmed by the sheer volume and complexity of legal documents involved in real estate transactions. Unfortunately, these issues frequently go unnoticed until after the deal is signed, leading to costly interventions from real estate advocates and lawyers to rectify the situation.
Concierge: After I talked about an overview of the problem I was looking into, I asked them about different scenarios that people would come to them and talk about issues with documents. They told me that all the issues have to go through them, and even if the members had physical or digital evidence of the issue, concierge had to be involved with reporting.
Technical Team: After completing a series of interviews with potential customers, our team conducted several brainstorming sessions to determine the key features that would best address their needs. These discussions were instrumental in refining the direction of our product. In addition to feature development, we held technical meetings focused on UI research, analyzing competitive tools on a global scale. We took the time to study lessons from past failures and focused on understanding the unique needs of Dutch customers, ensuring our product aligns with their specific UX expectations and cultural nuances.
