Fibre Visualisation App
Improve the work efficiency of the Oil & Gas engineers for sharing their data interpretation with their peers in real-time.


High-level goals
Key Project Enhancements
- Giving users more control by introducing a new project-sharing capability that empowers users to compare and review data in real time.
- Providing users with a central place for real-time collaboration such as discussion and feedback from their peers.
- Improving work efficiency by saving time and effort in producing external documents for discussions.
- Set a solid foundation for more future developments within the collaboration space.

MVP kick-off workshop

MVP user experience journey
After mocking up the MVP user flow I set up another workshop to review this with the team and to capture any feedback for more iterations. Once the journey was confirmed, this would help the PO to define the user stories and to help identify any technical spikes and design tasks that we should have.
Project Alignment
To help other teams in the business to have a clearer picture of what was going on, I carried out a mapping exercise to identify some of the key stages of the project and aligned them with the JTBD, potential rules and user pain points. This was well received by the business in our bi-weekly tech demo.
003
System Design Mapping
To ensure that the user experience and the engineering development were aligned, I set up a meeting with the developers to discuss and create a system design mapping. We reviewed the user experience journey to ensure everyone was on the same page and then produced an architecture diagram based on the journey.



005
Design Iteration
As the development progressed, we identified that the shared project view UI should be restricted to maintain the focus on the data interpretation. As a result, I set up a meeting to discuss this with the team to identify the reduced UI elements and reflect that in the journey.
006
User Research
As part of the design exploration, I carried out several user tests to validate our design thinking and identify any other opportunities that we should be aware of. I set up five 1-1 user research sessions over a week with the BP engineers and the main audience was Petroleum engineers, Petrophysicists and Reservoir engineers. The interview was done via MS Teams and the recording was later transcribed in Dovetail for deep insight analysis.
Final Demo

Conclusion
The result was great and the feature was well received by the BP engineers. We launched a Beta test with a selection of BP users via feature flag and it was well understood the new improvement meant that they could do their jobs more efficiently so the BP engineers were really happy with the result.
In addition, after carrying out the user research, I also uncovered that there was a strong desire to have a save functionality for ease of interpreting the fibre data. The research that I had carried out provided strong evidence for the business to accept the new use case and allowed the business to understand why it was needed. As a result, we continue to iterate and further improve the project-sharing functionality.
