Our Engagement Model
The solid foundation for the successfull project delivery happens by implementing the right engagement model. A progressive engagement with specialists and dedicated team focused on high quality delivery helped us to produce the best results.
Team Structure &
Collaboration
The Consulting Team
to collaborate was built after setting the goals, clarifying the roles and communicating the expectations. This also included aligning with different timelines and different time zones.
Virtual Collaboration
via Teams Azure between PMs, developers, designers and other key stakeholders made sure the timelines and goals were met within different time zones.
Design Process
Design process helps to build up the elements of great user experience and solve the problems. It guides the team to make intentional design decisions by exploring various options, while validating the stronger ones and uprooting the weaker ones.
Analyze
The requirement shared, primarily to validate the statement
Identify
The use-cases relevant to real time scenarios and map crucial events in the flow
Create
Multiple concepts using low fidelity wire frames
Validate
The chosen concept with cross -functional team using high fidelity wire frames
Deliver
UI mockups with respect to the user flow and events
Planning & Tracking Tasks
Azure Devops
We use Azure DevOps to track and collaborate on tasks, also to maintain the to-do lists.
Short Sprint
We follow Short Sprint Format, catering agile problem solving.
Maintains well
We do make our notes but f1 also records all the meetings and maintains well formatted list of those to track things from the past.
F1's
Approach
Solving The Right Problem
Consistent engagement with disciplinary team
Treating users as partners and co creators
Applied contextual inquiry , discovered needs & identified problem in customer journey
Leveraged creativity of people, inside and outside design team
The role was much beyond making things
Milestones
We set few project goals to make sure that what we really need to improve based on an existing solutions on market. Our bussiness and growth teams were constantly in touch, providing us with valuable insight.

Design System
Plexos Design System
Design systems help product teams to approach design with a system in mind. It reduces inconsistencies and improves efficiency at a scale. This helps teams to move quickly. In Energy Exemplar to introduce the design system for Plexos we started with an audit.
Explored existing interactions, and collected all of the UI elements in the product. Developed a simple and useful system.
The design system encouraged people to look beyond the building blocks of and to think of their purpose of their design
