What we wanted to achieve?
What we wanted to achieve?
To build a user interface that can be used for various reinsurance management activities. A simple and effective web application that will be part of the company’s overall Reinsurance system envisioned in the cloud. The interface should be simple and self-explanatory. It should allow the users to perform all the CRUD operations effectively. Overall, the experience should offset the cognitive load that might occur due to a large amount of data handling and management.

Agile methodology was put into place to complete this project in a tight timeframe. As agile works in phases/sprints, I had to envision how to create the interface in each phase, keeping in mind that everything needed to be stitched into a consistent web application.

What happened behind the scenes?
What happened behind the scenes?
Although the scope of the project was small, it was challenging to create 6 key UI screens through a rapid iterative process
We didn’t have much information on the user feedback as it was an ongoing project at the time but we had successfully shipped off the designs after tackling all the UX bugs (30% of overall issues) post-System Integration and User Acceptance Testing
Business Stakeholders were appreciative of the first version of the product as they saw it as an effective solution to their long-standing problem
