Stakeholder Engagement
We held workshops with customers to uncover their pain points and form the problem statement. After the scope was outlined, we presented at our Connections Customer Forums to introduce the product and get feedback from stakeholders. We then iteratively rolled the tool out to customers, so a small group used the MVP tool. We then gathered feedback from these customers and used this to scope out changes to the tool before offering it to a wider audience. We are still gathering feedback indirectly through comments received by teams that interact with customers. We are also analysing customer behaviour interacting with the form to assess where customers are having issues answering questions, so that we can improve the support for customers to complete the form through changing wording and providing tips and information.
