User Experience | ||||
Reduce the manual work load for regional coordinators by improving the process of handling data and removing the need to use spreadsheets. | November 29, 2023 | Scrum team - decision makers | Considering the nature of an emergency teams system, where timely and accurate information is crucial, addressing the problem of reducing manual work for service coordinators is a higher priority concern. Coordinators struggle to organize and deploy applicants. They rely on a shared Excel sheet for availability, marking trainings and conducting email checks every 3 months. Spreadsheet difficulties force reliance on alternatives like physical boards, resulting in frequent redeployments instead of prioritizing new applicants. MVP: Focus user group will be Regional/TEAMS coordinators. |
