Client challenge
The client aimed to minimize coordination costs and streamline the process of pairing 500 law students with lawyer mentors from a large pool of participants. The primary challenge was to lessen the administrative workload for students and directors in tracking educational requirements throughout the three-year J.D. program.
Our solution
Through collaboration with both law students and administrators in the design and usability processes, we developed solutions that were highly valued by both the client and its end users. By addressing the unique needs of students and administrators, we iterated quickly with an agile approach, integrating both software development and UX/UI perspectives. Our agile, team-based model provided the flexibility to bring in specific expertise as required, ensuring that limited resources were utilized effectively and efficiently.
Results
Client leaders expressed their admiration for the team’s swift progress through the discovery phase, noting how quickly they gained a deep understanding of the current operations. The team also proposed effective solutions to optimize both the back-end software and the overall usability of the application.
‘We were initially apprehensive about this project due to past challenges with software projects, but we are thrilled and pleasantly surprised by how your team has made this experience truly enjoyable!’ – Client Program Director.
