We took a few sprints of explorative Research and Ideation..

I set up a naming convention and size classification. We identified, that products are not well classified in its size and meassurements and dog representation. We investigated mainly on research, exploration and ideation and final matching: of dog visuals + icons + size meassurements.

Key Takeaways

[+] That project was very short time boxed and I couldnt deliver all product files as planned. After investigating on the problems arised during the work, I discovered some unknown risk areas: like that project masterfile was delivered after my conept phase, and that script wasnt useable for the complexity of the grafics included.

The planning and strategy starts and fails with getting the “Inventory” right. I frame it as UX AUDIT - BRAND AUDIT, getting all necessary brand assets delivered and proofing files of every product takes time (at least 4 days), to give a proper definition of the scope (items, colours,size). We worked very agile and included feedback calls and course correction. It lacked trust and commitment from company side. Overall a very complex project. Which needed extra care, in sorting delivered files and excel sheets, which caused lots of extra work.
