Cisco Cloud Consumption at Glance

Cloud Consumption as a Service, is aimed at helping smaller and mid-sized companies monitor the use of public cloud services. It helps you to discover which cloud services are used by your organizations, identify potential risks, and find the right cloud services to meet your business needs.
You could see all the cloud services used in your organization from a single dashboard even the services you didn’t know existed. Also, you would have a better understanding of the scope of the problem. You’d know if you faced a business risk or compliance issue with a new cloud service. You’d also know how much is being spent on cloud services, and by which business groups.

Design Need & Challenges

To understand how business units were using cloud services to help guide the company’s cloud strategy; design team helped Cisco Cloud Consumption group to started by defining core issues through interviewing Users/Business users and other groups.

the design team had to quickly break down design challenges, in order to create the best product where its more focused on user preferences and customized based on roles.

Team start by immersing ourselves in your world and putting ourselves in the end user's shoes. This data leads to recommendations a great user experience that works towards business goals.

By conducting initial design Interviews/Testing and Ideation workshops with business groups and development team helped Cloud Consumption team to outline design needs in product development with agile.

My Role & Communicating Design

For each feature phase, I went through cycles of requirements, consensus, approvals, detailed specs and handoffs.My process involved sketching and white‐boarding concepts and flows with my PM partner and then translating these directly into hi‐fidelity design comps. Since I was working with many existing design patterns, it was relatively easy to move straight into hi‐fidelity designs.

Since we have the data, we focused on use cases

Research & Discovery

I started by collecting everything that was already in cloud consumption product head (we call this a “scoping session”). We began talking to users of cloud consumption, Internal users, and those unfamiliar with the product to figure out what resonated within the cloud space.

Major Objective discovery phase to analyze

What felt the most value from that data?
How would people approach the product, from a specific or general view?
What would encourage investigation more? What are needs and good to have things in the product?

Traveling alongside development team projects go best when we’re working side by side a back-end development team.We all worked in weekly sprints, going from ideation to design prototypes in a matter of weeks instead of months to ensure design should go with development along together

Visual Design Objective

To enhance User Interface & User Experience which will give users an instant kick of understanding, satisfaction & happiness.

To focus on User Experience & Interaction and give solutions for existing usability to achieve the same result.
To create motivation & positive attitude by keeping Cloud Consumption Service web application friction free.

Interactive approach and user-centered design process were focused supporting product’s robust feature set while making it incredibly easy for our customers to use.

What does 'Data' mean to users?

Moderated, in-person tests are ideal for testing interactions and I started with it to understand what user think’s, by playing the role of the ‘human computer’, you’re able to walk your participant through your interactions, and did swap out the screens after users perform certain actions this helped a lot to test more options with the users in limited time.

In this project a research perspective, testing in person allowed me to address lot questions or hesitations that users have during the session.

On Track In Design

Started with task completion funnels flow from the point of entry to the funnel to the completion of the task for the users.

it was a continuous process to make product prototype design, and it requires keep iteration and improvement with a lot of meetings with Tech. and business team to make sure design solution is technically feasible.
