VBMS Design: Q&A & Opportunity Prioritization

by RICHARD 46 views

Hey everyone, let's dive into a knowledge share and Q&A session focused on VBMS design! As designers, we're always on the lookout for ways to enhance the user experience and streamline workflows. This session is all about re-surfacing VSR opportunities and creating a prioritized list to guide our future design endeavors. Get ready to collaborate, share insights, and shape the future of VBMS design!

The Goal: Unearthing Opportunities and Setting Priorities

Our primary goal is to conduct a knowledge-sharing session with the VBMS design team. This will be an interactive Q&A where we can pool our collective wisdom and align on current workflows. We'll be digging into past research, comparing notes on VSR needs, and ultimately, developing a prioritized list of opportunities that will drive our upcoming design work. It's all about leveraging our past findings, understanding the present, and planning for the future.

To make this happen, we'll be covering a few key areas. First, we'll revisit opportunities we've identified in previous research. This is a great way to refresh our memory and see if there are any low-hanging fruits we can address quickly. Then, we'll align on current VBMS workflows. This means discussing the steps users take, the challenges they face, and the areas where we can make improvements. Finally, we'll compile everything into a prioritized list of opportunities. This list will serve as a roadmap for our design team, helping us focus on the most impactful changes.

This session is crucial because it allows us to validate our assumptions, refine our understanding, and create a shared vision for VBMS design. By collaborating and sharing insights, we can ensure that our design efforts are aligned with the needs of our users and the goals of the VA. This is also a fantastic opportunity to learn from each other, share best practices, and strengthen our team.

What's on the Agenda?

Here’s a breakdown of what we'll be tackling during our knowledge-sharing session:

  • Q&A Session with VBMS Designers: This is the heart of our session. We'll open the floor for questions, discussions, and idea-sharing. This is a great chance to clear up any confusion, gather different perspectives, and learn from each other.
  • Gather Updated Insights: We'll be gathering up-to-date information on VSR needs and workflows. This involves actively listening to the team's insights, experiences, and observations.
  • Compare Against Prior Research: We'll revisit prior research findings to see if there are any unmet needs or areas where we can validate our assumptions.
  • Draft Prioritized List of Opportunities: By combining all of our insights, we'll create a prioritized list of design opportunities. This list will serve as a guide for our future design work.
  • Share List with Team and Stakeholders: We will share the list with the team and stakeholders to get feedback, build consensus, and ensure everyone is aligned on priorities.

During our knowledge-sharing session, we'll be focused on understanding the current state of VBMS design, identifying areas for improvement, and prioritizing our efforts. We'll be encouraging open communication, collaboration, and active participation from everyone. We'll also make sure to document everything we discuss so that we can reference it in the future.

Tasks, Acceptance Criteria, and Definition of Done

To ensure everything goes smoothly, we've outlined the key tasks, acceptance criteria, and definition of done.

Tasks

  • Schedule and Host Q&A Session with VBMS Designers: We'll need to set a date, time, and platform for our session.
  • Gather Updated Insights on VSR Needs and Workflows: This is about actively collecting insights from the team.
  • Compare Against Prior Research Findings: We'll be comparing our current findings with our past research.
  • Draft Prioritized List of Opportunities: Create a prioritized list based on the insights.
  • Share List with Team and Stakeholders: Share the final list and get feedback.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Knowledge-sharing session completed with VBMS designers: The session should be executed successfully.
  • Notes from session documented and shared: Document all discussions, insights, and ideas.
  • Prioritized list of VSR opportunities created: Create the final prioritized list.
  • Team alignment on opportunities for next design phase: Get approval from the team on the final design phase.

Definition of Done

  • Meets acceptance criteria
  • Passed all testing coverage
  • Logging and monitoring in place
  • Code or content reviewed (Internal)
  • Reviewed and approved by product and/or design

Refinement Checklist: Making Sure We're On Track

To ensure we're on the right track, here's a handy checklist to guide our progress:

  • Add description, tasks, and acceptance criteria: Make sure the project is well-defined.
  • Add estimate: Assign an estimate to the project.
  • Add the proper labels, team, and priority: Add the correct labels, team, and project.
  • Add an Epic or Super Epic: Ensure everything fits the bigger picture.

This refinement checklist will help us keep the project on track and ensure we meet all the requirements. We want to ensure the information is accurate and the project is well-organized before we share it with the team.

Collaboration: The Key to Success

Our knowledge-sharing session is a chance for us to collaborate, share insights, and create a more user-friendly experience. By actively listening, sharing our experiences, and working together, we can achieve our goals. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to re-surface VSR opportunities and build a prioritized list to guide our upcoming design work.

I'm excited to learn from all of you and look forward to seeing the positive impact this will have on our design work!
