Access the current landscape

In this phase, I conducted 3 components to quickly gather the understanding the problem space:

Evaluate existing to quickly identify and

Holistic inventory of components across all consoles to identify gaps for a robust Syniverse design system
to understand real-world usage, breakdowns and workarounds of current UI; and to gain insight for design of new features by observing and interviewing users

The customer journey

Through 1 week long in-person workshop, as a team, we have identified 4 areas where the customers interacted with Syniverse offerings: Learn & Explore, Evaluate & Purchase, Onboard & Activate, Use & Upgrade.
