Timeline
Overview
The Behavioral Correlation feature for ScienceLogic SL1 was a transformative initiative aimed at revolutionizing IT operations by providing real-time insights into complex IT infrastructures. As the Lead Designer, I managed the design direction, coordinating with six different development teams, each focusing on a specific feature. My role involved orchestrating the feasibility of the project, ensuring a collaborative effort across varying levels of readiness, and guiding the feature through a successful release.
My Role
As the Lead Designer, I was responsible for managing the entire design process, from initial research to final implementation. This included conducting user research, developing wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes, and leading QA testing. I worked closely with six development teams, each responsible for a different aspect of the project, and successfully brought these teams together to create a cohesive and enriched feature. Additionally, I collaborated with executive stakeholders, team leads, and senior managers to establish a realistic and successful release plan that would allow each team to build upon their feature as they progressed.
