A collaborative research and development initiative that extends the smart city concept to enable local authorities to enhance their transportation services using a combination of data sharing and an innovativebusiness model, thereby unlocking new external financial resources and theirown underutilised transport data.

The £3.5 million project, co-funded byinnovate UK, will span two years laying the foundations for smarter transportnetworks in the UK and internationally.

The project was at an early discovery phase with only some features of the platform built. I developed personas, a hypothesis backlog in Trello and supporting journey concepts for the data broker section of the platform. I also set in place the atomic design guidelines to apply a design structure the the new build of the platform user interface. I also supplied all design specification documentation to developers and supporting UI resources for the build.

Images of the current platform are not available. See early build design and wireframes.

Deliverables

· Define  baseline platform user base personas

· Persona  needs analysis (mapping back to assumptions against each epic)

· Using a  lean UX methodology (in Trello) declare user and business assumptions

· Prioritise  assumptions

· Convert  assumptions to hypothesis statements

· Break  down in to secondary hypothesis and capture in a backlog

· Prioritise  the hypothesis backlog (risk of being wrong)

· Run  design hypothesis workshops

· Write  key user journeys (using base hypothesis)

· Build  prototypes (using user journey descriptions)

· Capture  and design of design standards documentation (styleguide, wireframes, visual  design) within Jira and Confluence

· Defining  underlying design standards in an Atomic Styleguide (Grids, typographic  rythm, layouts etc) using Craft plugin within Sketch. Styleguide pages  uploaded to Invision to share with team.

· Epic  evaluation and mapping of scope

· User  experience mapping (swim lanes, journey rooms etc)

· Content  mapping against proposed Information Architecture
