JEDMICS

Part Revision

`Webflow Protoype`⁠
⁠

Challenge.

JEDMICS is the Joint Engineering Data Management Information and Control System of the Navy and Airforce. It is the one stop shop for all drawings for every part in these branches. They wanted to completelt modernize their legacy system. We knew the popularity of JEDMICS and the work it was going to take to take the early 2000’s design and make it more human. Easier UX, faster searching, part rendering, activity tracking, and multipile file download.

Goal.

Mark is an enginner or mechanic working on an F-16 jet. He wants to see the original plane part drawing as well as how much has changed, all data that is related, and download the multiple sheets of images.

Metric.

Import the hunders of thousands of previos drawings into the new UX and system. Leverage rapid design and prototyping to focus on the users and give them what they want. We wanted to improve searching to checkout within two clicks and easy browsing.

Process.

Observe → Reflect → Make

I was the product lead and design lead for this project. I originally partnered with with the primary Product Owner of the JEDMICS platform to learn and understand where JEDMICS started, where they wanted to go, and how we could help them get there. I would fly out to JEDMICS power user conferences to sit on a panel and ask open ended questions. I would oversee product discovery and whiteboard ideations sessions along with the PO at these conferences.

After back to back conferences we had several ideas and goals. We wanted to have the 1% mentality of shipping often and always improving. We started wireframing and putting flows in place to start gathering feedback and reducing clicks to drive the best outcomes. We leveraged tools such as UsabilityHub to practive first click testing.

After we flushed out a UI that was specifically focused on usability and something that would play nice with old monitors we would move into Webflow to start taking real life prototypes to conferences. Webflow allowed us to make changes on the fly and keep getting feedback.

Challenges.

Using open source technologies to help build faster and test more often

CAC card authentication to access tool

Importing existing projects from legacy software

Educating and teaching agile/sprint methodologies to the AF

Making search as fast as possible and display accurate results. This also had to search through all the fields within the API to return results.

Build out an eCommerce feel that allowed users to add multiple drawings to a cart and checkout (New feature)
