Genchi
Description
Genchi exists to answer the question “How are our teams doing today?” by providing a real-time project status visualization tool. It uses a simple team-sourced ‘pulse check’ to show, track, and share project status and team health, each and every day.
Challenge
Genchi provides a way for teams who embrace transparency to achieve better outcomes. By taking in regular, candid feedback from the entire team working on a project, and making that feedback visible and actionable by project managers and stakeholders, the whole team is confronted with fewer surprises.
Solutions
Designli assisted with the Agile Development of the Genchi web-app, developed in Angular and Node. The solution includes a Slack Bot that teams can install to their Slack workspace to easily send their status reports.
Impact
Working with a designated ‘Sprint Plan,’ the features that made up the Genchi system were broken down into digestible milestones so that progress could be regularly tracked. After core feature development had concluded, we launched Genchi to the world and have helped Rowland digest feedback from key users to inform ongoing product development and iteration.
