SECTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

SECTION 1.1 INTRODUCTION
   
  Ramy,
   
  It was great speaking with you in regards to Yayyo’s technological vision. I’m excited about the application that your building and the impact it will have within the transportation market.
   
  After discussing with you the products objective and goals, I’ve put together this proposal that outlines the road map for Yayyo’s product management.
   
  Our strategy for success will be to work within deliverable stages that allow you and your team to monitor the products progress throughout its development life cycle. Each milestone will be reached together through approval phases in which your team will be able to see the design, development and delivery of the product till we reach market launch.
   
  This method allows for complete transparency of the products technologies and provide confidence to your investors, executives, development, marketing and sales team, that the product they’ve envisioned is being produced.
   
  I’m here as your technological partner and through an agile methodology will work hand in hand with your team to make sure that the product you envisioned is achieved.
   
  I look forward to to working with you and your team on this exciting project and welcome any questions in regard to this proposal.
   
  Thank you
   
  Ali Rashidifar

SECTION 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND & GOALS

 

 

 

SECTION 2.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
   
  Yayyo is currently being developed by 4 different silo teams:

 

  - Cris’s Team - development of panic feature and web portal
     
  - Ryan’s Team - development and integration of Uber & Lyft APIs
     
  - Shadi’s Team - development of iOS & Android mobile apps
     
  - Desiree - UX design of mobile app

 

  Currently each team member is working within their own sprints and development guidelines without collaborative efforts towards a unified product. There are no product specification, project management timelines or specified goals.
   
  Current Project Issues:
     
  - Continually missed deadlines
  - Mobile first initiative unreached
  - Individual disciplines working in silos with Ineffective/inefficient handoffs
  - Product/feature development not tied to business goals and vision
  - Product development not inline with marketing initiatives
  - Cluttered and confusing user experience
  - Very little transparency in how/why “new work” gets absorbed in development

 

  My goal will be to bring a complete structured product management guideline to Yayyos development team and make sure that all teams work in a collaborative effort towards a single product vision. I will handle the following:
     
  · Product Design Sprints
     
  · Product Development Sprints
     
  · New Team On-boarding
     
  · Product Development Budgeting
     
  · Product Deliverables for Mobile, Web and Website

SECTION 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND & GOALS

 

 

 

SECTION 2.2 PRODUCT MANAGEMENT GOALS
   
  Goal 1: Design & Development of an iOS and Android Mobile App
   
  Develop Yayyo’s mobile applications that allow users to be able to price compare and pick the mode of transportation that fits their criteria and complete their ride.
   
  Goal 2: Design an Development of a Web Registration Portal
   
  Develop Yayyo’s website that provides a registration process for on-boarding new users and well as to educate them on the products value. Subsequently the website should include marketing initiatives outlined by the marketing and executive team.
   
  Goal 3: Development of Web Admin Application
   
  Develop Yayyo’s web application that allows high level team members to be able to track user analytical information.

SECTION 3.0 DEVELOPMENT PROCESS & PROJECT SCHEDULE

 

 

 

SECTION 3.1 IDEATION PROCESS
   
 
   
  In our ideation process, we’ll uncover the main product(s), its most valuable features and the roadmap to its successful launch. We’ll facilitate ideation sessions with divergent, emergent and convergent strategies that will gather the necessary information to develop a strong understanding of the following :
   
  _ which features provide the most value
  - what are we building with those features
  - why we’re building it this way
  - who we’re building these features for
  - how we’re delivering these features to them
  - how the product will look
  - what is the product’s overall user experience goal
  - how does this all tie into our business and marketing model
   
  After these sessions, we’ll have a clear vision of the core product from which we can begin our architectural research and analysis on. Each of the next steps outlined below will provide a detail of the processes we take after our ideation and research phase to deliver a market ready application.

SECTION 3.0 DEVELOPMENT PROCESS & PROJECT SCHEDULE

 

 

 

SECTION 3.2 UX PROCESSES
   
  Making the user a vital part of the experience is what UX is all about. It’s more than making the design look right; customer experience is integral to your products success as well. If an application has too much clutter or content in its design, it might confuse users, but too little and they will have difficulty using it. At Lexicon Labs we understand that both elements are balanced in each experience we create.

 

 

PERSONAS & STORYBOARD

Stakeholder and user interviews. Persona creation based on interviews. Storyboarding personas into user flows and product usage.

 

 

COMPARATIVE & COMPARISON ANALYSIS

We Analyze comparable application from a competitor’s list and create strength and weakness measurements to identify your products position in the market and its key value offering.

 

 

PRODUCT MARKET POSITIONING

Here we’ll identify your market position based on the requirements created in the previous steps. This will allow us to build the application with a strong market launch strategy in mind when we get to developing an on-boarding and user acquisition process.

 

 

USERFLOW DIAGRAMS

After the persona and storyboard process, we will progress into navigating the user through the primary application objectives and draw a path with which the user will onboard and complete the applications goals intuitively. During this process we will outline the IA through card sorting and building page objects and requirements.

 

 

HI FIDELITY WIREFRAMES & Ul DESIGNS

Finally we will start to work on Lo-Fi wireframes and continue user testing till we achieve an approved user acceptance level. From there we start on Hi-Fi wireframes and begin a clickable prototype so that we can validate the application user experience.

SECTION 3.0 DEVELOPMENT PROCESS & PROJECT SCHEDULE

 

 

 

SECTION 3.3 Ul DESIGN PROCESS
   
 
   
  Our development process works inline with our UX processes, as they are very agile and collaborative. Our Ul designers also work with your marketing and branding team to make sure your product’s voice and market presence is communicated through the look of the application. We’ll design the application off all the approved Hi-Fi wireframes , but we will continuously test each iteration of the interface design to make sure the user understands the application intuitively and is not overwhelmed by the content and colors. The final goal is for the user to be comfortable within the application wether or not the user is just browsing content or accomplishing a task, while simultaneously ensuring the brand message is clearly being relayed through the design.
   
  We take pride in all our design work and make sure that the products user interfaces with, provides the best experience. While designing, we prototype and test each phase of the product with potential end users and stakeholders to get proper feedback and approval. This allows us to see and test a market approved product before it is sent on to development and finally launched to market.

SECTION 3.0 DEVELOPMENT PROCESS & PROJECT SCHEDULE

 

 

 

SECTION 3.4 AGILE & ITERATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (SCRUMS)
   
  We approach each client engagement using a documented set of policies, processes, and procedures. Each client is assigned a product and project manager who acts as the primary point of contact for your organization. This project manager guides the project team through the development process to ensure timely and high-quality completion. The Lexicon Labs team uses a comprehensive set of checklists, tasks and procedures that are tailored to each client. In addition, a daily project status meeting are held that focus on answering three questions:
   
  (a) “What have you done since yesterday?”;
  (b) “What are you planning to do today?”; and
  (c) “Do you have any problems preventing you from accomplishing your goal?”.
   
  This transparency and daily review of progress mitigates risk and ensures that close management of the project occurs at every stage. Behind the scenes the project manager coordinates with the executive team to ensure service quality. Lexicon Labs utilizes many technologies to manage projects, including: Github (revision control system), JIRA (issue tracking and scheduling), Trello (sprint management), Slack (client communication) Dropbox (document sharing) These systems allow us to systematically manage complex projects.
   
 
   
  Here’s a visual representation of our SCRUM process and how each role is defined with the development process.

SECTION 3.0 DEVELOPMENT PROCESS & PROJECT SCHEDULE

 

 

 

SECTION 3.5 TESTING
   
  Thorough testing is an integral part of Lexicon Lans’s approach to development and one of the final phases. We test application for speeds, user experience, bugs and functionality operations. Each of these different test areas enable us to ensure that the systems we develop are bug-free, meet client expectations and fulfill end users’ functional and aesthetic needs. We perform both automated and manual testing on the applications that we develop.

 

   
       
  As we develop our development team writes automated unit tests that allow them to test and make sure it passes all tests before it passed onto the manual QA team for behavioral and functional testing.   With behavioral testing we make sure the application feels, performs and functions as we expect it when its in the users hands. We test each feature one by one to not only make sure it works but that it provides the best user experience possible.

 

SECTION 3.6 TRAINING AND DOCUMENTATION
   
  We will work with you to ensure that the various members of your organization fully understand the application features and functionality as well as its supporting code. You will have full access to the repository to review the code and application versions. Organization members can also review the code notes and all technical documentations for in-depth understanding of the application.

SECTION 5.0 LEXICON LABS BACKGROUND

 

 

 

SECTION 5.4 OUR DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP (continued)
   
  1. SCOPE
  In the Scope phase we will thoroughly understand your product and its market by placing ourselves in your shoes as both your product team and business partner. By understanding what makes your product vision tick we will answer questions collaboratively which will help us find the essence of your product and bring it to fruition.
   
  2. DISCOVERY
  In the Discovery phase, we dig deep into the research and analysis for your product. This includes studying your competitors to understand their strengths and weaknesses. This will allow us to position your product in the market favorably.
   
  In this phase we’ll begin to interview stakeholders, targeted users and product owners so that we can create the right personas and storyboards to align the user flows with the product goals.
   
  3. FRAMING
  As the name implies, in this stage, we will frame a solution around issues surrounding the product. Most services skip this step and jump right into the design, but at Lexicon Labs we believe every product must have a great roadmap. We will get into the channels of the technical architecture by preparing both the user and data process flows, outlining the product feature sets and then establishing an MVP. This will then be handed over to the design and development team.
   
  4. UX ENGINEERING AND Ul DESIGN
  Design is all about behavior and interaction with a product. In other words, it’s the experience a user receives from using a product that solidifies its success. Through iterative processes, our user experience engineers & interface designers work with your team to create a product that not only looks great, but is intuitive, simple and provides the solution set forth in the product’s value.
   
  5. DEVELOPMENT
  Our product and product management team along with our developers and QA testers will build and launch your web/mobile software quickly and efficiently. As with all our projects, in our development cycle we emphasize code quality, proper documentation and performance efficiency. With daily scrums and outline sprints, we ensure that the development roadmap stays on target for delivery.
   
  6. DELIVERY
  Once your product is ready to hit the market, we’ll be there every step of the way and beyond. We’ll continuously work with your team through our early phase launches to gather user feedback, release iterative updates and optimize your product. Our goal is to give your team the tools and skills necessary to move forward and build a successful business.

SECTION 5.4 OUR DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP (continued)
   
  7. ALWAYS TESTING
  We understand that you can’t always guess what your users want or how they’ll react to your product. That’s why we continually work with your users by providing them prototypes through prototypes, so we can validate every feature or function within your product, before it goes to market.
   
  Through test-driven development, internal manual testing and user testing, our goal is to build stable and scalable products. We run all our builds through a quality assurance team to ensure that we focus on the products evolution as well as stay on track for a successful launch.
