Overview
I led the design of the onboarding experience to support the first security data source integration, creating a streamlined and scalable design that can be generalized to all other data sources.
From preview to public release, I supported the product team for successful rollouts and also mentored a junior designer to level up skills on user research and design collaborations.
The business initiatives is to expand the data integration to security data source, helping organizations unlock their security insights with advanced analytics.
But the problem is prominent: the existing onboarding flow is fragmented and takes a long time to complete, remaining as the biggest friction to user adoption.
Users need an efficient workflow with instructive information and confirmation.
Streamlined experience
A wizard design to reduce cognitive load.
Built-in automation
To automate the index setup process.
Guided experience
A hand-holding experience with multi-level instructions design.
However, data integration is more than just onboarding. A truly streamlined experience should account for the end-to-end user journey.
The final design showcases the end-to-end data integration experience from first-time onboarding to later modification.
