Your team has decided to move a multi-step, manual process online. What best practices do you need to follow to build a product with an intuitive user experience and ensure a successful launch for both internal and external stakeholders?

During this session, we will share five lessons learned from transitioning a law enforcement agency’s offline process to an online, self-service platform that you can apply when creating digital products to enhance your agency’s customer service and user experience.



These lessons include:

Identify a Product Owner to increase project success;
Map the offline customer journey to an online, user-friendly experience;
Seek internal stakeholder input throughout the project lifecycle;
Create a Minimum Viable Product and iterate often; and
Prepare your external stakeholders by communicating about the process change.
