What we did

  • A problem had been raised by mine crew team leads as to the complexity in requesting two team members swap shifts
  • A solution was identified using the user-centred design principles of design ideation sessions and testing with crew-leads
  • The solution was mocked up as a clickable prototype and end-user testing was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the solution
  • Refinements to the solution was identified via the end- user testing process and incorporated into the final design requirements for build
  • The solution was implemented on the organisations enterprise service management platform and released to a production pilot user group
  • A custom developed sentiment feedback tool gathered end-user feedback which was monitored over the pilot period
  • The pilot results were evaluated and a decision was made to launch the solution to the entire production user base
  • In the first 6 months, the new service request process has been used over 700 times
