Effective workflow management within an Ed - Tech company 

 Challenge : 

 Being a member of an online marketing department in an Education technology company and my / our   challenge is to improve the workflow ( activities and projects ) within the department in order to increase   sales in the online channel and to spend marketing budgets on the right campaigns . The project scope   includes the online marketing department composed of three employees , as well as the larger Business   Development department , with whom we work closely . The project is limited to internal resources ( i.e. ,   budget and employee time ) . The project should not exceed 30 business days and the solution should   include an even distribution of working hours amongst the team members . We will focus on trying to   uncover what our team members , as well as key stakeholders within the larger marketing department   and BD department , consider to be ineffective or problematic with regard to the workflow . 

 Selection : 

 Our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools , so we are ready to try the   learning launch tool . Broadly speaking , the learning launch is an experiment meant to quickly and   cheaply test an idea . 

 Application : 

 Using the learning launch tool , we wanted to see if we could structure our tasks , projects , and processes   to adapt the methods of Scrum project management for our work ( e.g. , time boxed , daily , specific   meetings , reviews , etc . ) to effectively perform our tasks and be more agile . This tested our assumption   that the structure and execution were the main causes of our workflow challenge . Our team went   through a two - day training with a Scrum project management coach . Next , we went through two   workshops to structure our tasks and processes in a more agile way . These two sessions occurred within   in a three - week timeframe . We expected to produce a document with a clear description of our new ,   more agile processes / workflow . For our second learning launch , we focused on gaining clarity about our   tasks and priorities . This tested our assumption that our prioritization of tasks was the main cause of our   workflow challenge . Our team completed an anonymous survey . Additionally , five key stakeholders from   the larger marketing department and BD department also completed an anonymous survey . The surveys   included questions about our new , proposed process , understanding the process and the prioritization   of tasks , and feelings about the change , and were conducted within a one - week timeframe . 

 Insight : 

 By applying the learning launch tool , our team identified our assumptions and designed launches to test   these assumptions . Additionally , we thought through anticipated results , expecting to find that a more   agile approach would improve our workflow , and that both our team and the key stakeholders would be   fairly open to the new prioritization of tasks and process . Our actual results were slightly different from   what we anticipated : while our team was open to the prioritization of tasks and process , the key 

 stakeholders in the larger marketing department and BD department expressed some concerns . Moving   forward , our team will review this insight and incorporate it into future launch designs . The ongoing   incorporation of insight is particularly important at this stage . 

 Approach : 

 Given that our team has already gone through several design thinking activities / tools and are at this   stage in the timeline , the learning launch is the appropriate tool . As previously mentioned , our team   needs to review the insight gained from our first two launches and incorporate this insight into future   launch designs . Future launch designs should reflect insight gained , progress made , and come closer to a   compelling solution to the problems we face .
