Document Management Tool

A document management and court reporting tool for Attorneys

In 2018, DTI Global were losing customers to one of their competitors. Despite being the world's largest Legal Services company, there was a gap in their offering and this small entry point was capitalized on by their competitor leading to Millions in losses for DTI. We were hired to fix this problem.

How might we help attorneys organize millions of documents for Court Reporting?

A quick preview...

Sometimes the best way to convince a team of developers to agree to build a feature is by doing it for them. Here's a prototype I created using Framer JS and some native JavaScript. The result was some code that could be used in actual production. The final version of course was slightly different due to limitations encountered with the existing technical architecture.

A look into how we got there...

Here's a look at how I documented a roadmap based on interviewing stakeholders to paint the vision for the team. I also conducted contextual observations and interviews with Site Managers to better understand their needs from which the Personas and User Stories were derived. All the insights that were gathered were then converted into meaningful, actionable User Stories sets that were then designed through Agile sprints.

Surveys

We used surveys to collect quantitative data from the US, UK, Australia, Europe and parts of Asia. If you're reading this and you're working on a project requiring User Research with lawyers, good luck with setting up an interview with them!

Personas

Personas came after interviews, surveys and distillation of stakeholder knowledge.

Story Map

Object Oriented UX (OOUX)

I helped create roadmaps based on Design Thinking, with the intention of failing fast and iterating quickly.

Wireframes

The team created hundreds of wireframes for early usability testing, fast failure and iterations. Here's a small snapshot.
