Amazon’s design sprint

Led this skunkworks project with a small tiger team of no/low code designers/developers (all partially staffed to the client), shipping early and often and solving real problems together. Developed project mgmt. solutions embedded within Amazon, Coda’s fastest growing account

Goal

Make it clear to Amazon employees that they can use Coda for their project management use cases — it’s where current users of Coda at Amazon perceive the tool to be most valuable.

• Win against document/wiki tools Quip & Loop.
• Position against “relational databases” Notion & Airtable.
• Bring over project management tool users from Asana and Smartsheet.

Solution

• Current landscape of project mgmt. templates.
• Competitors
• Patterns
• Prioritized roadmap
• Daily standup
• Gong and user interviews
• 3 weeks, shipping ~1 use case template per week.
