Ideation

With the requirement provided by Product, we gathered together and framed the initial direction of cast and role.

Requirements

• Person and Role are created as separate nodes.
• There is a Cast Collection which connects Person and Role in the format of "[Person] as [Role]". It also has credit information, where brand can freely enter names and roles.
• These collections can be connected to a content type, such as series, season, episode, and event.

In the beginning of the session, we first introduced the participants to different variety of workflows and pain points regarding cast and role. Then we walked the participants through the users' journey, accompanied by the questions to be solved at each step. The questions were to guide the participants to think in the perspective of the users and ultimately solve the specific painpoints.
