Problem

Time + Effort

  • Technical managers typically provide in-person training lasting at least two months, sometimes delaying other ongoing urgent projects.

  • New hire field technicians undergo group training sessions with up to 50 participants, limiting their access to personalized tutorials and constraining their absorption of learning material during on-site classes.

The senior manager dedicates 1/3 of their work time to teaching tutorial classes, causing pressure on his 2/3 of projects.

一个图展现research result的结果;- visualize 很多user needs,而且是不同groups:FT(field technician),RE(Roof Engineer),STE(senior technical manager), 做这个affinity mapping; pain points, and behavior)

visualize很多insights;

The new hire field technician joins a class with 50 people, and he cannot focus 100% of his attention on the class.

Finding root cause (User research: in order to (1)find the problem root cause + (2)understand user mental model, needs, pain points, and behavior)

72% field technician have technical difficulties on self-learning process;

Senior technical manager needs to dedicate around 120h, roughly 1/3 of their daily workload, to prepare and teach the training class.

JBTD (找出两个最关键的key design directions)

Value = “JBTD“ * Perceived Likelihood of achievement / Time * Effort

HMW

  • How might we reduce senior manager time and effort on teaching field technician, so that they can save more time working on core projects?

  • How might we help technician to easily and quickly master domain knowledge and workflows, so that they can get onboard much faster and easier?

Design Direction

  • Hypothesis:

outcome
  • Insights: propose three concept testings:

    (1) Crawl. (2) Walk (3) Run

concept 1: 15m

pros and cons

JTBD 1

For the Technician

When I join T-Mobile as a newly hired technician (the situation), I want to quickly and easily learn domain knowledge and get familiar with workflows (motivation), so I can efficiently perform my job tasks and contribute to the team's success (expected outcomes)

JTBD 1

For the Technical Manager

When I have newly hired technicians joining my team (the situation), I want them to learn domain knowledge and workflows with minimal time and effort from my end (motivation), so I can focus on higher-level tasks and ensure the team operates smoothly (expected outcomes)

Business Value Mapping

rationale. Pro con for each
cost/risk control , ROI. Return on investment; - long-term : AR不止是一个人用,可以很多人用,compare之前要花manager两个月去train这些人,device会更新换代,比如算manager时薪$100/h, 那么他过去要花$12000来training这些人,把数字大于AR的钱;20:05 ->

Align with behavior questions;

pros and cons

怎么让他们quickly master;比如cable的口,之前不是用颜色,而是用文字,左边第二个,右边第三个,减少了effort和time;

Problem

Usability Testing:测时间/效率/。。。。。。。。。

然后讲design impact /metric: before + after + goal (goal是之前在concept的时候跟pm设定好的,我是怎么achieve的,有一个点没有achieve到,比如说test completion rate,这个没有达标,为什么没有达标,我们只完成90%,这是我们next step要做的;)

为什么要说这个? 因为我们只是保证easier和quickly,没有保证quality怎么样,quality就是怎么减少time to value,意识到这个项目是有帮助的;profile只要把我设定好的time + effort设定好的完成,这个项目就是成功的;而且我还detect出来了下一步进步的可能空间,说明我确实是用data-driven mindset去improve incremental design decision;(behavior question来了:怎么用data去inform design incremental design decision的,怎么去data-driven的);

Business Value:research中得到的数据,做完了之后看有没有效,做experimental test;28:30

量化manager的工作时间,两个月之后的对比;revenue 和 costing cost:他们最看重的东西

solution 2:

pros and cons

24:24 让gpt给两个不是很好的方法,prompt先写的很细很细(写故事);

solution 3

最后选了这个:

是因为time更少,更高的success rate,更高的route correctness
