Situation:

Complication

On the My Card page, there are rewards that can be selected using checkboxes. However, as a user, I do not yet understand the function or purpose of these checkboxes.

The application design used does not pay attention to the latest design principles, such as the use of intuitive design patterns, visual consistency, and modern aesthetics.

Question

HMW improves the user experience of shell apps, so users can easily show barcodes to cashiers, and delivers an app design that follows design principles

Answer:

Lets Dive In!

Design Process

To find out and be able to provide solutions based on problems experienced by other users. I did it using the thinking design method.

🔍 Stage 1 - Research

The first stage I did was empathize, I did it in 2 ways, namely usability testing and surveys.

I wanted to explore and deepen more problems, so I chose to conduct heuristic evaluation and qualitative research with loyal Shell customers.

Scoping

Who: Loyal Customer Users (Using more 1 years Shell Asia App)

Gender: Female/Male

Age: 24 - 46 Years

Defining Research Question

What is your experience in using the Shell application to access information related to Shell gas stations?

Have you experienced any technical problems or failures in using the Shell application? If yes, what do you do when you face this problem?

What do you think about the ease of use of Shell applications? Is the user interface intuitive and easy to understand?

Do you feel there are any features or functionality missing in the Shell app? What can be improved or added?

Conduct Research

I got 2 participants who have been using shell applications for more than 1 year.

(for participant research, the minimum should be 3 participants, but due to limited time, I continued with the insights obtained from 2 participants)

🎯 Stage 2 - Define Problem

Affinity Diagram

From the results of the interview, there will be many pain points from the respondent's answers which will become the object of observation. Then the answers are classified based on their similarities.

Priority Matrics

Here I do not solve all problems, but I choose and prioritize which problems I want to solve. From the insights I got from Design Mandates:

Simplify the user's journey to get a barcode scan

Fixed the gift redeem flow

Provide distance and accessibility for users to easily read detailed information.

💡 To add improvement findings to shell application design, 
   I added a method, namely Heuristic Evaluation.

Heuristic Evaluation

Heuristic Evaluation is an assessment of the usability of digital products by UI/UX practitioners to improve user experience. This evaluation focuses on the Shell Asia Application.

The task is to start at the homepage, note the heuristics that are violated, and complete the task while taking a screenshot.

After noting violations of the 10 Heuristic principles by the Norman Neilsen Group:

Then I will give a severity rating: (cosmetic problem) 1 - 4 (usability catastrophe; imperative to fix)

I'll summarize the assignment, show screenshots, list the heuristics that were violated, and describe the violations and their severity.

Here are some opportunities I can improve in UI/UX by ensuring the product
not only looks cool, but also provides a good user experience.

💡 Stage 3 - Ideation

Opportunity Based on Research

After several brainstorming sessions, the solution became clearer and I tried to see the big picture. I identified by using the HMW Framework:

How to simplify the user's journey to scan barcode loyalty points

How to simplify the prize redemption process

How to provide distance and accessibility to make it easier for users to read detailed information

User Stories

I also use the Jobs To Be Done framework to make statements based on user interviews to better understand their motivations, situations and results in using Shell Applications.

User Jobs & User Journey

I created a user job to help find what the user wants. I was indirectly tasked with fulfilling their expectations. The first thing to do is create user jobs to be done.

After that, I created a Lo-Fi wireframe using a whiteboard because this was the easiest and cheapest part. Wireframes will help strengthen the applications that will be created before entering the Hi-Fi design.
