my role: ux design

the problem
Project pricing at NextEra Energy ran through twelve business units, each with its own inputs, and most of it moved over email. Executives lacked visibility, and originators and subject-matter experts had no shared record of who priced what.

one way to navigate
Early designs were made department by department and did not match. I designed a tile-based navigation that kept things simple and could grow across all twelve business units.
find the common thread
After interviewing experts from every unit, the breakthrough was simple: everyone shared a pricing deadline. That became the center of the Universal SME Dashboard.
one place for the data
With business analysts and developers, I designed Manage Model and Reference Data, a hub where units upload and maintain the data that powers automated pricing.

the outcome
The dashboard cut reliance on email by 95%.
Requests, deadlines and status were visible in one place, which improved accountability.
Soft launch in August 2020, full rollout in December 2020.
