Overview
A grant approved project to purchase Wi-Fi Hotspot devices to provide to customers who are need of at home internet service for school and work. For this project I worked on the experience map to help plan out the workflow between customers and staff. I used a cross-functional flowchart to identify the process from the customer end to the backend. I conducted workshops and interviews with department staff to understand the unique process the device will have to travel from behind the scenes to the customer’s home. After launch I distributed a survey to customers who had the devices checked out for 2 weeks to gather feedback on the service.
Tools Used
- Visio (Experience Map)
