CWS Inform
Design Sprint

2018/2020

Summary

In 2018, AF CyberWorx facilitated a discovery sprint to assess the ability of the current GTIMS readiness management system to meet the needs of users. The team focused on finding user pain points, who the users actually were, and how they used GTIMS. Designers solicited feedback on what users would need in an ideal system.

Outcome

Our designers found some key factors during their interviews:

- - Readiness is a critical factor for squadron commanders.
  - The rely on the readiness information they receive to be current and accurate.
  - Current systems do not collate information, making readiness assessment difficult because information needs to be verified through more reliable sources.

Conclusion

The CyberWorx team partnered with CyberWinter Studios to design and develop a minimum viable product (MVP) that consolidates relevant data into a single intuitive format. The MVP is currently undergoing user testing while CyberWorx advocates for the deployment of this capability enterprise-wide.

Problem Statement:

How might we build a system that ingests, normalizes, and consolidates personnel data and presents a Commander with the unit’s readiness status in an easy to use and intuitive interface.
