Case studies
1. Commute sharing in a resourcing platform
Tool used: User + Planet Story Cards
A resourcing platform added an opt-in feature to share commute information. When two people had matching routes and days, the platform suggested car-sharing. This made lift-sharing simple without forcing behaviour change and reduced car journeys for regular commuters.
2. Library swap in a banking app
Tool used: Impact Tags
In backlog refinement, a planned feature was tagged impact-review-needed because it required a large third-party library. A follow-up review found a smaller library with the same functionality, reducing bundle size and improving load times for millions of users.
3. Media optimisation in a campaign microsite
Tool used: Impact Scan
A design agency used the Impact Scan on a new microsite and spotted that the default design included a looping hero video and uncompressed images. They replaced the video with a still on mobile and compressed the images, with a reported reduction in total page weight and improved mobile performance scores.
4. Notification batching in a banking product
Tool used: Sprint Planning Prompts
During planning, prompts about API calls and user experience led a team to batch notifications instead of sending them individually. This reduced API calls and lowered server load, while also improving the user experience by reducing interruptions, based on the team's own measurements.
