T&L Capability Proof-of-Concept
Initial AssessmentNot sure if use of spreadsheets was the best approach
• Not easy to format and comment, became unwieldy
Discussed and debated importance of “user stories”
Decided that it was best to focus on UI improvements
• New capabilities would create more UI complexity
Clearly needed expert UX design resources to be involved
• As well as UI developer resources
